Tenant being sued for repayment of settlement on my house.

[Hyperchut]

I own a house in Ohio. I'm renting it to someone. About a year ago there was a fire. The Ohio Fair plan payed for the damage. Then, about 9 months later sent my tenant papers demanding their money back. $52,000 is what they want from my renter. He's broke the way it is. They are taking legal action if he doesn't "respond", but he's already responded numerous times. I'm at the point where I feel like suing the Ohio Fair plan myself. How can I get these people off of my tenant's back?

Why did they pay the money to the tenant in the first place, and why do they want it back?

No, they sent me the money to fix the house. But now they say his cigarette butts are what started it, but the fire chief says otherwise. Since my first post I've almost worked it out, but thanks for the attention.
