Well, the tenants renter's insurance would seem the best source. Ultimately the tenant is responsible whether he has renter's insurance or not. --64.222.xxx.xx |

Yep, bill the tenant. And watch your relationship go downhill from here. A good tenant would apologize and tell you to bill them.
This is probably below an insurance deductible. But sounds like it could pass $500. The tenant ain't gonna like that. --24.121.xx.xxx |

Les, Wanna be right or rich?
You MUST know that any report of a fire goes on the CLUE report - a permanant record/Carfax type file on your house. It can make your rates go up AND make it difficult to sell.
If the damage is minor - cleanup and repaint - just do it and charge the res.
Smoke damage is "particles" that must be removed to eliminate odor - wash them off and seal with Zinsser BIN smoke sealant, then repaint.
