I have rented an apartment. Within 6 months from signing a one year lease, the landlord starts to perform works on the Patio of the apartment block. The work is expected to take place over 4 months. During the period of work, the apartment is not habitable during the day as the noise from work is deafening. I am a housewife with a baby. I have to wander in the park during the day, and return during the worker's lunch break and leave before they start works again. It is extremely inconvenient. In addition, the apartment become very dusty and lots of dust particles just float in the air within the apartment causing breathing difficulties.
The landlord maintained that there is nothing they are obliged to do. The maintained that at the time I signed the lease agreement, the management has not decided to proceed with this project. Also the landlord says a court has ruled previously that if the works are safety related, the landlord need not make any concessions on rental reduction
