33-1366. Fire or casualty damage
A. If the dwelling unit or premises are damaged or destroyed by fire or casualty to
an extent that enjoyment of the dwelling unit is substantially impaired, the tenant may
do either of the following:
1. Immediately vacate the premises and notify the landlord in writing within
fourteen days thereafter of his intention to terminate the rental agreement, in which
case the rental agreement terminates as of the date of vacating.
2. If continued occupancy is lawful, vacate any part of the dwelling unit rendered
unusable by the fire or casualty, in which case the tenant's liability for rent is
reduced in proportion to the diminution in the fair rental value of the dwelling unit.
B. If the rental agreement is terminated the landlord shall return all security
recoverable under section 33-1321. Accounting for rent in the event of termination or
apportionment is to occur as of the date the tenant vacates all or part of the dwelling
unit.
