Sutton v. Jondahl

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• precluding subrogation because law considers tenant coinsured of landlord, and because landlord and tenant have insurable interest in property
• tenant is a coinsured under a landlord’s fire insurance as a matter of law
• ‘To suggest the fire insurance [of the lessor] does not extend to the insurable interest of an occupying tenant is to ignore the realities of urban apartment and single-family dwelling renting”
• lessee is a co-insured of the lessor, absent an express agreement to the contrary since both lessor and lessee have insurable interests in the property and lessee's rent is used to pay insurance premiums
