Which of the following is considered an indirect loss for Janie after her rental property suffers damage due to flooding?

  1. Paying to have wood floors replaced

  2. Losing a month of rental income

  3. Tenant replacing a damaged sofa

  4. Hiring a contractor to reinforce a damaged retaining wall

The correct answer is: Losing a month of rental income

An indirect loss refers to a consequence of damage or loss, rather than the direct cost of repair or replacement. Option B, losing a month of rental income, would be considered an indirect loss because it is a financial consequence resulting from the damage to the rental property. Options A, C, and D would all be considered direct losses, as they involve paying for specific repairs or replacements to the property. Therefore, they do not fit the definition of an indirect loss.
