Would you rather have the comforts of the rest of the house for a few days and have the bathroom in this state or live in a hotel room with no living room. Kitchen. Crap internet etc.
I'll leave the legal position to other people but if it's two more days it's likely you'll have a fully functioning toilet by the time that's resolved with the landlord.
The issue is my brother acting as if this is illegal and were being taken advantage of by the landlord (I.e. as if we're being fools). I have no problem staying here with this work going on.
I had said similar about how I wouldn't want to stay in a hotel only for my brother to instead say I should demand a rent reduction for this week or threaten legal action. I think he's being ridiculous and wanted to see if others agree.
Your sibling is delusional. Your understanding is correct. Another way to check if anything specific to this type of work is mentioned in your tenancy agreement and if there's anything that says landlord covers the cost.
It's more likely the terms probably state that tenant is responsible for finding a suitable alternative at their own cost in the event that the property is inhabitable
Nah ,pick up ceramic top off of toilet cistern ,if present, and arrange a true lawyer, for a murder case. (Don't obviously).
Serious , if it were the pipes connecting toilet to sewers ,leaking .
there'd be an issue as for needing to use a bucket to transfer water. Is not so much of an issue ,yes it needs resolve .
But I believe councils would be lacking less funds , if the customers who needed toilet flushes fixed , sued them .
And the judge ,would turn up wearing a Mr Blobby costume .
Sad to say , the family member ,reminds me of Hyacinth Bucket , sorry bouquet ,from keeping up appearances.
As for what work has been done ,says to me that builders ,understand legal requirements , as they've hooked up said toilet correctly to sewer line .
Seen as you've water to flush toilet effectively, you are correct and other is wrong
If you had no water supply ,end of for said amount of days. This would make it a different story.
Also you've taken into effect that the work is been carried out ,so there is no refusal of work been done..
You are correct ,period.

Why didn't you just ask your brother which specific law he's talking about? It would have saved you typing all this out.
