We will have to disagree, then. This is not a natural disaster that caused the home to be uninhabitable. This is a malfunction of the landlord's property.

"Compensation must be equitable for both parties."

This is not a battle to be won. This is the opportunity to do the right thing by the tenants who are now inconvenienced through NO fault of their own.

Again, this is not a natural disaster. This is a problem with the rental itself, and the tenant should not have to foot any cost for the inconvenience. The rent should be abated and the 2 parties need to come to an agreement about fair compensation for a hotel. If they agree on $50 a day, then that's all the tenant gets.

The landlord can also make a claim with his own insurance for any rent lost or compensation to the tenants.

One added point I forgot to make.

"This is also not the LL's fault either."

A broken water heater, burst pipe, or hole in the roof would not be considered the landlord's 'fault', but they ARE the landlord's 'responsibility' to maintain.

Please don't confuse the words fault and responsibility.
