Look at the lease and the policy (who is loss payee....). Normally TIBs wind up the LL's property but during the term the T is obligated to insure (LL normally would only insure the "shell" since TIB varies from tenant to tenant). Then if there's a loss the question is how are the proceeds to be applied? If the lease will continue then the LL should rebuild with those funds and as long as they were the correct amount LL should fund any deductible and any overage (LL's insurance may dovetail with this). If the lease will end due to the casualty, then the LL gets the $$ because it essentially loses its property and the T is released from further leasehold obligations.

What should a landlord do if tenants are fighting?

'Fighting' may not be a problem. Unless they are damaging your property or disturbing other tenants, you probably have no reason to act at all. If they are damaging property or disturbing others then the reason they are doing so isn't important. You act on what they are doing instead of why they are doing it. It is not the landlord responsibilityIt is not the landlord's responsibility to become a mediator for disputes between two tenants. This is the reason why we have courts and police. A conflict between two tenants is the same as a conflict between 2 neighbors, which is either resolved between the two tenants, through court intervention, or, in case of violence, with police.
