Eliminating all odors and making sure construction noise and debris is gone, means you'll get higher rents for both units, which will have big long term impacts.I lived mostly in San Francisco as an adult, which has pretty strict rent-control laws, and I'm not sure what they situation is in Livermore, but I would also suggest you write rent escalation clauses into your leases if they aren't already there.
