#### Industrial hygenist report
File a claim to open the process. Ask for an industrial hygienist report. Specifically ask, and then get in writing, an agreement for a pre and post remediation report. If they won't agree, pay for it yourself. It is the only way to know the extent of the smoke damage. You can request reimbursement from insurance later. Once you have the report, you can create a remediation plan. As you can see from other answers, damage can vary depending on location and wind and the structure itself. The report is the only way to know if there are toxins/VOCs in your home.

To capture the information here: my renter friend contacted a pro bono lawyer and was advised to request 1) a prorated rent refund for the period of loss of use and 2) financial relocation assistance from the landlord's commercial policy, which requires the claim and policy ID from the landlord. Both of these requests fall under legal tenant rights and protections.
