Students declared bankrupt after
Hot Tips
their rental property burns down Four students who were sharing a flat decided to go to the pub. The fifth student stayed behind. They left a pot on the stove and fell asleep. Although they woke soon after, the fire was well established and not able to be put out. 3 minutes later, the student watched from the front lawn as the flat burned down. Damage to rental property is the responsibility of the tenant.
Studio Rooms for rent Panmure from $175.00
All 5 students were equally liable for the damages because they were all named on the residential tenancy agreement they signed when moving into the house.
