Renting a property with earthquake or flood damage
Before renting a property with damage from a natural disaster, you need to consider a few important things.
These include: your ability to get contents insurance, how bad the damage is, if you will need to move out when repairs happen and your rights and responsibilities after you sign a tenancy agreement.

Repairs after a natural disaster
If the property you own or live in has been damaged in a natural disaster – such as an earthquake, a storm or a flood – you’ll probably need to deal with repairs.
It’s good to know how to go about this, who’s responsible for what, and what help’s available.
