What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
I have a question regarding heat damage to our wine collection. We have an apartment that we do not live in, and only visit occasionally. We do not have renters insurance for the apartment. Recently, when we were not at the apartment over a 3 week period, the buildings heat malfunctioned and (even though our thermostat was set to off), the heat in the apartment went to nearly 90 degrees. As a result, a couple thousand dollars worth of wine we have there has been cooked and ruined. Because the heat failure was a maintenance issue, do we have any recourse for the value of the wine?
