I rented a house from a lady and signed a lease agreement and everythin. I was only there a little over a
month and the living room caught on fire due to a wire shortage in the roof. I don't have a copy of my lease because it got damaged in the fire. The house has not yet been repaired and she informed me that i would have to pay a remittance fee to get out of my lease with her. Can she do that? I didn't intentionally break my lease.
You are governed by lease agreement. Request for you Realtor supply you with copy explain your rights. No one can render an opinion till terms are reviewed.

Get her to provide a copy of the lease.
If the house is unlivable, I would think it would be tough to force you to pay rent.
Unless for some reason the short was your fault, with overloaded circuits.
See if Baylor has a free law clinic that could help you for free.
The wise thing to do is to contact a attorney...
