The tenants plugged in a t.v, dvd player, playstation and stereo. Said room is a utility room and not deemed as habitable. The tenants used it as habitable. It had a low ceiling height. Well there was a fire that was caused by electrical fault there which resulted in the house becoming a write off. The fire englufed the sub floor of the whole house. My insurance company paid me out, when the check was handed over the person whom I was dealing with said they were starting legal proceedings against the tenant as the fire was their fault. That is what may happen when a non habitable room is used as one. I dont read this to mean that the owners of the house are potentially at fault, the tennants made the decission to use the room in that manner,as long as they where told at the onset the room was classed as non habitable I would assume then, if the tennants where at fault, it would mean the fire was caused by something THEY owned (tv etc) So as long as the wiring, or something belonging to the owners of the house had nothing to do with the fire, the owners should not be found at fault.
