First, your landlord’s insurance may cover some of your costs, especially if you had to have things cleaned to get the smell out. I once had a wall oven explode and catch fire…oh boy, that was entertaining…. My homeowner’s insurance bought a very, very nice new oven for me–much nicer than the one that was in there, which itself was not junk. So look in to what insurance can do for you.

Second, it’s possible that your landlord or the landlord’s insuror will cover the cost of your gas bill above & beyond the normal cost. If you had a gas leak, you were at extreme risk. And the insulation in the wall catching fire smacks of incorrect installation of either the stove or the wallboard. Can the landlord spell l-a-w-s-u-i-t? If she can’t, you can bet her insurance company can. Ask nicely (at first) and you may be able to get some of the exorbitant utility bill reimbursed.
