A Florida contractor is hired by a property owner to renovate an investment property (house). The property owner lives in NY and the property is in Florida. The house has been unoccupied before and during the renovations. The contractor is the only person that had a key to the property.
Sometime during the renovations, it appears, but we cannot confirm, the contractor, or one of his subcontractors, left the entry door unlocked. Subsequently, it appears someone entered the home and either intentionally or unintentionally caused a fire that severely damaged the home.
The fire department report did confirm that, upon arrival, the entry door was closed, but not locked, and there were no signs of forced entry to the home.
