Landlord Neglects?

Question

I live in the state of Illinois, Everthing runs of electric. Now if my landlord have some electric work done and left us, me without electric for 4 days, and I had to go to hotel is she require to pay reinburst my hotel fee.

Answer 1

Not responsible for hotel stay BUT is responsible for pro-rating your rent. check your lease agreement for details. but you should be able to get him/her to work with you. otherwise subtract it out yourself.
take your rent divide it by 31 days that answer will give you your daily rent. take that daily rent and multiply by the number of days you could not be there and subtract that answer from the rent you pay every month.
so if you paid 31 dollars a month, your daily would be 1 dollar. if you were out 4 days thats 4 bucks. 4 bucks minus the usual rent of 31 would be 27 bucks.
keep in mind this isnt an exact formula by any means (not all months rent are based on 31 days as some months have 30) but the point in all this typing im doing for you is that this will give you an idea of what to subtract from the rent.
yikes this is a long answer.
Good Luck!

Answer 2

In the instance you refer to your Landlord has an obligation to do repair work with as little disturbance as possible.
Electrical supply is viewed as necessity or "essential service" and can't be interrupted for four days straight without interfereing with your right to "peaceable enjoyment" of your rental premises.
Had I been in your shoes I would have spoken to the Landlord when she advised of the work being done and reached an agreement at that time regarding the arrangements to be made for the time you would be without electricity. The reason I mention this is because your landlord may have chosen at that time to supply electricity with a generator, which would have cost less than the hotel you're trying to claim now.
You should contact your local housing authority to find out what remedies you would be entitled to in this case, and then negotiate a settlement with your landlord.

Answer 3

The landlord is probably not responsible for paying your motel fees, sorry to say. There is no guarantee that everything in a rental will work 100% of the time. Repairs are sometimes needed. There is usually a time limit to get things done- here it's 72 hours, unless there is a strike, natural disaster, or the like.

Some owners WILL pay or contribute but it's up to the individual owner.

Answer 4

I am not in the US, but I would like to think that a Landlord could do that for you.
I am a LandLord and I would do that for you....
Have you spoken with your Agent - are you going through an Agent.

Perhaps, you may have to look at finding another landlord or rental property and check in the tenancy agreement what he/she is willing to do.

I hope this does not happen again for you.
Best of luck!

No, the landlord is not responsible for your hotel fees. However, if the apartment was unlivable, the landlord will be responsible for refunding 4/30 of your monthly rent.
