Tenant - Over 10 Years

Jamie M Baker
Posted

My husband and I have been in the same CA apartment for over 10 Years. We want to request new floors and paint on the walls. Obviously, we won't be able to live in the apartment while they are fixing the apartment.  Who pays for housing while they are painting etc. and is the cost of storing our furniture on us?  What are our rights here? Can they kick us out if we ask for the upgrades?

Basically you have the right to make the request, and the owner has the right to say yes or no.  They can't kick you out just for asking for the upgrades, but there's also nothing legally requiring them to do them either.  If they are nice enough to agree to do them, you shouldn't expect them to also pay for any alternative housing or the storing of your furniture.
