My roommate and I both live in the dorms where we share an apartment together.
We had an accident with a deep fryer today. Oil caught on fire, spread in the kitchen, but we caught it in time to put it out with a fire exstinguisher.
We don't have renter's insurance, but when we moved in the housing office told us that the "building is covered by their insurance."
I'd say there's about a thousand dollars worth of damage in the apartment. Do we have to pay for this, or is it likely that the school's insurance will?
This was a pure accident, and nothing illegal was involved. But, there's still damage, and who would normally pay for it? Pay in minds these are dorms, and what I said about the school having insurance.
