I am the owner of one of the flats in the Hampstead fire on the news this week. The house is emptied, burnt and no one is allowed in.
Sadly one person died, not my tenant. Camden Council who are the freeholders have put our tenant in a hotel till Sunday. They say that they are not obliged to let her have any accommodation after that. Is this correct and I would also be grateful for any advice you may have for steps that I should take generally as this has never happened to me before and I have no accommodation for my tenant.

Does your Landlord Insurance policy not cover this?

Hello Hippogriff
The landlord policy covers damage to the building and other things but  the council who are freeholders say that they are not responsible for re housing lessee's tenants, only lesees and freeholder's tenants.
