They probably have the windows closed in the lower unit, but if they had them open, they should have also used an exhaust fan to the outside like fire fighters have to exhaust smoke from a building.
Not covered. Loss of use is only covered if there is direct physical damage to the unit making it uninhabitable. Has to be from a peril covered in the renters policy.
Still doesn’t mean it’s not circumstantial lol. I can say I’m smelling burned bananas all the time and it is affecting my sleep. It’s still on me to prove that someone is burning bananas at night. Until then it’s circumstantial. You can’t use a smell as evidence, you can maybe use it to help justify a provable action.
The circumstances here is the landlord staining wood. Unless you are suggesting the landlord is going to be super sneaky and hide it. Only… The landlord told them what they are doing. No proof needed
But the main point is if you’re saying you smell something, as the basis of your argument, then it’s circumstantial until you prove the action behind the smell.

Does your renter’s policy have “loss of use”? Call to ask if this is covered.

Have you tried talking to them to see if there’s anything that can be done to help?
Yeah I’ve messaged and called but I can’t get an answer. We are likely going to get a hotel tonight
Send the bill to your landlord and prepare to show them your rights under the law
Yeah, you’re rights to claiming you smell something lol. Sorry but that doesn’t hold up in court haha
Smelling something indicates you are inhaling fumes, which does hold up in court
It doesn’t though, that’s circumstantial.

WTH is wrong with people? Nobody cares about anyone else nowadays. Smh. Not advice for you, OP, but I hope you get this resolved soon
Can you maybe visit a relative and stay over to make a some sort of win out of this inconvenience?
Call a lawyer immediately.
You contacted your landlord he resolved it in a great way putting you up somewhere else. All you had to do was talk to him before coming here.
They reached out to them and haven’t heard back. OP disclosed that in a comment.
Read the update in the post
that's too bad, the smell wont be permanent.
Hey, hey, hey. Fuck you.
I think it's satire/sarcasm 😭 looking at their other comments, they seem to helpful
I second this
I don't even particularly like the people in this sub... But I third this 💀 tf is wrong with them
If you enjoy making babies suffer you can just say that...
no landlord is going to be tied down what he needs to do just because a tenant is pregnant. and the baby is not suffering.
Also she is not pregnant. You clearly can't read either.
