Where you and I disagree on this one is whether or not the tenant can make a claim that they have been "damaged". Clearly they have been damaged for the period of time that they could not use the kitchen. That has nothing to do with landlord/tenant law. If they sue in small claims court it won't be decided based on landlord/tenant laws, it will be based on damage.

I agree that they may have been "damaged" (extra cost to eat out comes to mind), but this was a question about reduced rent.
