Q: My landlord has gotten permits to remodel the home that I’m renting with me and my children living here is that legal
There was a water leak but the water leak has been fixed so there’s no need for the landlord to tear out the walls inconveniencing my family trying to replace plumbing whit me and my children living here
A: Landlord has a duty to provide habitable premise and to provide quiet use and enjoyment. Everything they do should be reasonable. If the inconvenience is for one day or two, I do not think you have a claim against that. Or if the inconvenience is minor, you do not have a valid claim neither. You have every right to request the landlord to have the work done around your schedule so that your life is not interrupted.
