      Rita, If you’re confused, spare a thought for the people trying to help you with this problem, as we may not have all the facts yet. 1) You mention the Home…

        JT’s suggestion is brilliant. It will probably solve Rita C’s problem, as she maintains they are covered by home warranty insurance. But, if that’s the solution, why don’t the insurers…

                      Huh? There is no loss of rent. The owner has rented the unit to a tenant. The unit is temporarily uninhabitable and the tenant is provided alternative accomodation paid for…
