Water damage repairs - is landlord obligated for tenant hotel
Hello, In my single family rental, rooms are rented separately. There was a water damage in upstairs bathroom with toilet leak. While contractor work on repairs, tenant living in downstairs bedroom will have to move out for 2 weeks, while they work on fixing room ceiling baseboard and toilet. He didnt had rental insurance prior to damage but bought rental inurance later.
Can he ask landlord to cover hotel bills? Is landlord obligated to pay for hotel bills or prorating rent for that period?
Thank you
