I'll see you in Hell Costanza!

Post by Leroy »

The building that our little 5 person operation occupies has been sold. We have been given until the end of our lease to get out. That's fine, but they have started tearing up the ground floor (we are on the second), which means there is no a/c, no stairwell lights or bathrooms. And they are making a ton of noise all day everyday ripping to shreds the remnants of the bank that was there. I feel like Costanza at Play Now. They will probably install asbestos.

How can they do that with tenants there? Time to cash in your GRB legal coverage with heyzeus.

I'm like a weed, Jerry!

No A/C? I'd stop paying the rent.

I'm not your lawyer til your retainer check clears (AHEM) but it seems likely your landlord is violating the implied covenants of habitability and quiet enjoyment right now, if not outright violating express terms of your lease. How much time is left on your lease? It may be worth it to hire a local attorney to send them a friendly letter telling them they need to provide a/c and bathrooms right now because they're in breach of your lease and/or those implied covenants.

*Also, minor technicality, but I'm not licensed to practice law in whatever Dakota you're in.
