Re: What are Your Rights if Water Will be Cut Off During Repairs of a Rental Property
Nowhere did it say the rooms were "off limits." Where does that come from?

On the other hand, we are expecting a baby which has due date very close to the construction dates so we will be having workers working in our home, we won't have any water in one bathroom and any access to our bedroom during day time and there will probably be a newly born baby with some family members around.
Re: What are Your Rights if Water Will be Cut Off During Repairs of a Rental Property
It doesn't say that at all. It says there will be no water in the rooms on the specified days. It doesn't mean he can't use the kitchen other than not being able to get water from the sink.
There's nothing here that approaches the limits of habitability that would require the landlord to do anything under the act.
Re: What are Your Rights if Water Will be Cut Off During Repairs of a Rental Property
Do you seriously read the words, "we won't have any.. access to our bedroom during day time", as meaning, "we won't have any restriction on our access to our bedroom during the daytime"?
Re: What are Your Rights if Water Will be Cut Off During Repairs of a Rental Property
I read it, but I'm not sure I believe it. Just because there are workers present doesn't mean he doesn't have access to the bedroom. But still, it doesn't make the apartment uninhabitable under the statute.
I understand it's going to be a problem, especially with the baby. And they can certainly complain to the management, but from the strict reading of the LTA, I'm not seeing a legal recourse.

Why don't they simply ask management if they can be the first folks on the list to go through this so the job can be done BEFORE their baby arrives.
