due to a severe storm, the rugs in my tenants basement apartment were flooded. the apartment is inhabitable. what are my legal obligations to my tenant? we would like him to move his things out so we can begin clean up and repair, but he says he has no place to put them as he is staying with friends. we have no insurance to cover this and it will take us time to do the work ourselves. can we terminate his lease with proper notice? we have a tenant at will agreement and live in massachusetts and would rather not continue leasing the apartment. also, can we expect any rent for the 22 days he lived there before the flood?
