Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia
Our apartment has flooded (the a/c unit failed) . Our apartment management are not willing to place us in a hotel. We had to move all furniture into the living/dining room. We cannot cook and space is tight. They are willing to place us in a model apartment, but it doesn't have wi-fi, my wife needs it for work. And they want us to cook, do laundry, and work from an environment that is not suitable at the time. If we stay at a hotel, and they don't reimburse for our expenses, do we have a case? I have to take off Mnnday from work to be here when the carpet repairmen comes in. Can we sue for reimbursement of funds spent on lodging, and from time off from work?

Sure, you could sue, but having rejected what might be termed reasonable substitute accommodations under the circumstances offered by the landlord, I would predict that you would be likely to recover little or nothing from your litigation efforts.
