The costs include hotel expenses, compensation for restaurant dining expenses (if cooking facilities are not included in the lodging arrangement), pet accommodations, laundry, day care, moving costs, and phone transfers. [See Bulletin] You and the landlord can AGREE to your getting a daily compensation instead of replacement housing, and you may also AGREE for the landlord to pay you a lump sum for the temporary moving and storage of your personal property during the work. If the work will take longer than 30 days, the temporary housing must be comparable in size, rooms, accessibility, and proximity to services and institutions [schools, hospitals, etc], such as another unit in the complex or a different apartment building entirely. If less than 30 days, it can be a hotel or motel within 2 miles, suitable for the tenants' needs, with standard amenities. The landlord has to give at least 7 days' notice to return to the apartment, afterwards.
