Just Moved In and Now the Landlord is Suddenly Renovating
Moved in to a large detached home with 4 roommates on May 1st. All was fine at first.
Then on Sunday, I received an email from the landlord saying that “workers will come to start working” on MONDAY. So, less than 24h notice for a whole swathe of renovations that are totally unexpected.
They are knocking down two walls, installing several new doorways, and merging what was previously a separate wing of the house into one larger space with 9 total bedrooms.
Obviously the new space and # of roommates is not at all like what was advertised when the rental agreement was signed. And there’s a work truck blocking the driveway, endless pounding and banging, workers smoking cigarettes on the property, etc. etc.
What are our options???
