Insurance issue on Fire District liability for uninsured leased building
The Columbia Fire Insurance Company asks if the District of Columbia can be held liable for fire damages to a building it leased and did not insure when the owner asked for coverage. The lease required the tenant to insure, but the District failed to renew insurance due to lack of appropriation. A deputy auditor says the District cannot pay, but a new lease could be drawn to fund the insurance.
