non-disclosure of conditions? Last September I got a job with a City, and I rented out a house owned by the local school district that was leased to the City for their use in housing me. In February, I lit a fire in the fireplace, but a faulty chimney leaked heat into the rafters that caught the house on fire. I lost around $12,000 and did not have renters insurance.
Now I find out that the school district had received an inspection report when they bought the property that they did not give to me or the city, which stated the fireplace should not be used, but we never received this information. Do I have a case to file a claims to be compensated for my losses of contents? The school district received over $100,000 in insurance money for the lost home.
Maybe before I talk to a lawyer, I can put some feelers out there and see what people know about my situation?
