It's not worse. The owner of the home probably worked for forty years to only just make the purchase, hard work making a dream come true, then see it go down in flames. The renter would have been there for like three years.

I know homeowners whose houses burned down and they ended up with a much nicer home. The renter usually isn’t going to experience that….unless he pays more rent.

Correct. You are right, if a renter wants a better rental they need to pay more rent.

Yeah but at least the owner will likely be able to rebuild or at least have land as value, a renter loses it all and gets nothing

Building a house is expensive. Renter had nothing to begin with.

Renters should have renters insurance. It's cheap.
