You got my attention there. My next door neighbors (and their door is side
by side of mine) caused a fire because of their toaster oven many years ago.
It scared the hell out of me coming home and seeing all my neighbors outside
waiting for the fire dept. to arrive.

This was on a Saturday night. I didn't have renter's insurance then but I
went right out the next Monday morning and added it to my policy. (True)
Since then, my place now requires every tenant to have insurance. I bought
mine many years before it was required.

It's a good investment anyway....not very expensive at all.

PS - stupid-ass tenants burning candles is another big fire hazard.
