Do I Have To Pay Rent After My Apartment Burns Down?
Briefly

"If your rental is deemed completely destroyed, you no longer have to pay rent. California law releases you from your agreement, and landlords must refund any prepaid rent within 21 days."
"If your unit is partly destroyed but still deemed unfit to live in, you can choose to terminate your lease or wait for necessary repairs without paying rent in the meantime."
