Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : Bit of a long story here.

I own 2 houses on 1 title in a town that just suffered a massive flood. It was a major event that has devastated the city.

I have tenants in both properties and both properties we flooded with what they are calling black water, which is basically sewerage. The rear tenants have been fantastic, the front tenants have given me problems for a while. 

When the properties flooded I put my life on hold and drove the 5 hours to try and fix the properties as quickly as possible.

When I arrived I found the rear house in much better condition as the tenant had placed sandbags and stacked their furniture, whereas the front tenants had done nothing (there was several days of warning). On top of this there was clear signs of long term neglect on the property, which the tenant has been warned of previously. 

I spent a week scrubbing and power washing the properties. During this week I grew concerned about the state of the front unit. I decided for health and safety reasons that the place was not livable. One reason is that the front tenants have decided not to throw away a lot of furniture that I know was contaminated with sewerage. Unfortunately I'm not ensured for this event and my only option is to move down and fix the property over a couple of months.

Now the tenant is fighting me as they do not want to leave, but I'm extremely concerned that leaving them there will result in heavy damage to my property and their health.

I am very sympathetic to their cause as I know their business was also affected and it's challenging finding accommodation at the moment due to the floods. But I need to get in and save my property. Am I the asshole?
