What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
I own and rent a house to a family, and it's been a very good working relationship and I want to keep it that way.
The 60+-year old home has had minor sewer problems, which will require replacement of the sewer line. I am upgrading sewer service and adding a bathroom while doing the repair work.
The renters will be inconvenienced for 3 days. They have to move their basement belongings away from one wall, and they will not be able to use the basement during those 3 days. Also, they will lose water and sewer service for one hour each on 2 days (day 1 and day 3 of the work).
Do I need to accommodate them for the inconveniences of moving their stuff and not having water/sewer for 2 hours? Or is this a reasonable expectation for maintenance? I want to do what's fair.
Our lease doesn't spell out anything specific about accommodations for inconveniences caused by maintenance. Ideas?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
