Re: Tenant vs.landlord
If by doing the additional construction, the landlord is creating a hazardous condition, a tenant may be able to either get a cease and desist order, or in the alternative, terminate the tenancy. Would need more information on the actual facts of the case. Feel free to contact me for a free consultation.
