Looking for advice on rental situation
Hoping for some guidance here with an ongoing rental issue.
Me and my roommate have been in the building for just over a year- rent is high ($4000+ for a 2 bedroom) but it’s a luxury apartment and we like the accommodations, but there have been ongoing issues within the unit the entire time. Essentially there has been plumbing problems and leaks under the floorboard that have taken months to pinpoint the issue and resolve, meaning we have had overflowing kitchen sinks, toilets out of commission for a weekend etc etc.
The result has been that the landlady has to replace the entire wood floor of the apartment (which covers the entire communal living space and both bedrooms. For the last month/ 6 weeks we have lived with a hole in the floor where a piece of wood was removed to check for replacement.
Here is the question- ultimately our landlady has asked that we vacate the apartment for 1 week in order to replace the flooring, and asked us to involve our insurance to have us and our belongings removed and stored for the duration- during this time she has offered us the week rent free as compensation. Does this sound reasonable, and would it be acceptable to ask for the month of free rent? We will likely have to start moving before the week of work, and then move back in after, which will be extra days and more headache/ stress.
I would really just like some guidance as to what to expect/ would be reasonable as an accommodation- thank you in advance !
