My house caught fire today. I have a tenant upstairs who apparently had a number of space heaters and 24 other devices plugged into a series of power strips, in turn, plugged into extension cords terminating at ungrounded adapters which caused the fire.
The home inspectors confirmed that everything of mine was entirely up to code and that the tenant's gross negligence caused the fire. Had it happened just 30 minutes later, he would have left for work and the whole house could have burned down.
He's finding a new place to live immediately and agreed to pay for the inspections and electricians, but there is still the matter of about $600 he owes me in unpaid electric bills.
It will be such a relief to have my home back - it was incredibly stressful cleaning up after him constantly. I keep a very tidy home and he treated it like a dorm room. I just hope he pays what he owes. Once this is said and done, I will enjoy having a clean home all to myself again.
