To answer a few of those earlier queries…the windows have been done and took 2 weeks from start to finish- with probably a week when it was not possible to stay in the unit due to builders coming and going, the rooms open to the elements, mess etc, especially being a small unit. The compensation of rent does not cover the hotel costs (so full rent rebate is different to accommodation costs in this case) and the landlord's insurance does apparently not cover these costs because the windows were being replaced not due to an emergency but just wear and tear. Who should, therefore, cover the costs I wonder? The landlord, the strata or tenant? Is there a specific rule? (there are only a few units having new windows out of quite a few). And they could argue too that the tenant could stay with a friend and not in a hotel for a week maybe..
