[QUOTE="SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH, post: 317071, member: 16"] Your landlords insurance, which under your care of duty you should have will cover you for tenants temporary accommodation. It probably will also pay for the emergency electrician but it definitely wont pay for the upgrade/repair to the installation. My view is old age of the fuse combined with the smoke detector fault. Without knowing if there was a correct size fuse or a nail in the fusebox no one ever will be able to accurately explain this. The connections at the intake in the flat below had possibly not been touched for 50 years ( when were the flats built/converted ?) so things do come loose. The only vibration would not have been from this fault but from the work being carried out downstairs. A couple of years ago i was sitting round a freinds house having a cuppa, his wife turned the vacuum on and it blew the main intake fuse. No faults, just the surge of the vacuum motor, maybe the fridge compressor kicking in and old age. Another point is as a landlord when is the last time you had the electrical installation inspected and a report issued ? [/QUOTE]
