Discount tenant rent based on water damage in basement

[Joe Ludwiczak]

I recently bought a new primary residence and kept my starter him as a rental. Things have been great but last month we had a burst pipe in the basement of the rental. The basement is half finished and the tenants kids use that part of the basement all the time. Based on the damage I need to replace the floor and it’s taking close to month to get it all done. During that time the tenants have been unable to use the basement. Is it appropriate to discount the rent for a month based on the loss of usable space?
