Re: Destroyed property in Basement

Your question is impossible to answer as written, it is too vague.

I will take a guess at what you might be talking about: If your bicycle was burned up in a fire in the hallway, just for one example, then whoever caused the fire owes you a new bicycle. I dont know whether the landlord does, or not.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I will be happy to discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free.
