What is the name of your state? Missouri
A discussion between some rentors:
An owner rents a house to a renter. (This is a month-to-month agreement, and there is a signed agreement).
Renter carries renter’s insurance (smart idea).
There is an accident causing substantial damage to owners property (fire, water,...) to the extent that the renters has to move.
The owner does not carry property insurance (remember this is a hypothetical exercise).
Can the deposit be kept for cause with no problems?
Can the property owner subrogate the renter’ insurance to recover damages?
Or is the owner’s only recourse is to try to collect damages from the renters?
Appreciate any input.
