Get them to sign a complete waiver.

They waive their right to get any part of the rent reimbursed for any reason. They waive their right to withhold rent or any part of rent for any reason.

They waive their right to move into a hotel at your expense...for any reason.

They waive their right to claim any injury concerning this project..for any reason.

They assume all responsibility for health issues that may result. The assume all responsibility for any problem and actions they must take because of the lack of this bathroom...or any access to this bathroom. If required they may have to install the toilet each night and flush with a bucket of water, then uninstall it each morning for the workmen....they accept the responsibility for this. If required they may have to take just sponge baths in the kitchen sink for any period of time..they accept the responsibility for this.

I bet they change their minds.

Basically..do not do renovations with the tenant occupying the unit...but if you must..get them to sign off on all the worst case issues ... In advance.
