Q: Can my landlord move me from a 3brm to a 1brm or hotel with no kitchenette during remodel?
I have been renting my 3 bedroom unit for 7 years. Myself and two minor children. Landlord is remodeling says I must chose between a 1 bedroom or a hotel with no way to prepare food for my children for at least 3 weeks.
A: It is up to you and your landlord to come to some sort of agreement as to your accommodations during the remodel, and you hold most of the power. If you agree to the hotel, be sure to get a reduction in rent to cover the extra costs of food. Lastly, be sure to get everything in writing. I handled a similar type of case where had the agreement been in writing, things may have not become an issue later.
