Hurricane Harvey just wiped out Houston and various other parts of the Gulf, and Hurricane Irma, currently a Category 5 storm and one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes ever seen, is closing in on Florida. It's more important than ever to know how to protect yourself and your home. Last week we talked about steps you can take to guard against flooding. Today, we're tackling insurance and owners'/renters' rights and responsibilities.
Among all of the other horrible realities faced by those who have been impacted by the devastating hurricane is this new one: "Victims of Hurricane Harvey have spoken out after landlords demanded rent from their flooded, uninhabitable homes," said Yahoo. "As they piece their lives back together, buying new furniture and other belongings after replacing those lost and finding alternate accommodation, some have been slapped with fees from landlords, who demand rent for the flooded homes the victims had to flee."
