My LL called today and said that he wants to renovate the bathroom in our apartment. The problem is that it will essentially make the bathroom unusable for 4-5 days. Of course, we are against this for obvious reasons, but he is insistent.
He suggested that during that time, we can use the upstairs people's bathroom, but we are merely acquaintances with those people, and I would not feel comfortable asking to used their bathroom, and they might not always be home when we need to go...etc.
I am wondering if there is any way to refuse? I frequently have to get up at night to use the restroom, and I am SURE that the upstairs people will not give us a key, so...I need to know what my rights are. It is an unregulated apartment, and we live in Brooklyn.
Any advice will be appreciated.
