I've been told one of my houses has suffered some severe water leaking due to the recent new year rain and storms. Water has entered the roof which has come away in an area and the air conditioning has fused out.
I'm not too worried about that as I'm with EBM and that damage all seems covered. The issue is the tenant wants out of the lease due to the comfort factor. It is taking a little while to get things fixed as it is a bad time of year to get tradies.
Is it fair to let the tenant go ? Should I just put that in a claim of lost rent ? I have suggested a rent reduction until the repairs are done, or perhaps she move out rent free for a couple of weeks.
Anyone been in a similar situation ?
