Landord is replacing the floor in my studio and doesn't want to provide accomodation NY State
Hey guys, so the floor has to be replaced. The contractor paid me a visit, measured the floor and told me it would take two days and I would to stay out of the studio. He tells me my landlord has to get me accomodations for those days. I also have to move everything, and some stuff I will have to put in the bathtub.
Today I get a call from management, and this lady says they will make the repairs during the day and I would be able to sleep in the studio at night. I ask her how is that gonna be possible if the will dismantle the whole floor, and she said that there would be space for me to sleep there. I don't remember what she said when I asked about being exposed to the dirt and whatever is under the floor, but one thing is clear from that phone call, they don't want to pay for accomodations. I won't be able to use the studio during the day, or bathtub. This is probably a breach of quiet enjoyment or the warranty of habitability but I'm just new to this. Any suggestions? Thanks.
