Landlord Adding Washerdryer

Full Conversation

My landlord is adding a washer/dryer to our apartment. The process will take up to 7 days. In those 7 days we will not have electric and we have small children. They recommended we not stay but we have no where else to go. Also they come in at * am with no regards that (as of today) our child is starting school.

What notice did they give you before starting the washer/dryer installation?

I believe it is 2 days.
In Arizona, landlords must provide essential services and cannot disrupt them for an unreasonable time. If they do, you may have legal recourse.
even though it is to I guess upgrade the apartment
Even if it's for an upgrade, your landlord cannot disrupt essential services like electricity for an unreasonable time. Have you discussed alternative arrangements with your landlord?
We did advise them that we could not go anywhere else and there was no answer. Also my husband works from home and we are now having to sit in a Panera's all day witha 1 year old.
Have you considered seeking legal advice from a local attorney? In Arizona, tenants may be able to deduct rent or move out without penalty if essential services are disrupted.
No, first time having an issue like this
