Landlord Wants Tenants To Temporarily Vacate Apartment To Make Room For Their Visiting Family

The ordinary rhythm of the day for OP took an unexpected turn when a message from their landlord illuminated their phone screen. The person they had known only through a signature on a lease agreement for their basement apartment was now requesting, rather unsettlingly, a temporary evacuation for five days. The reason? To accommodate the landlord’s visiting family. In an attempt to sweeten the deal, the landlord promised not to charge rent during the absence and generously offered a closet for storage.

At first glance, the request seemed innocuous, but it essentially amounted to a brief eviction. Being a relatively new tenant in the city, with only a few months of navigating its intricate paths, OP found himself without the safety net of friends or family to rely on. The prospect of an impending work trip provided a sliver of hope, as it might align with the requested days, but uncertainty lingered. The last resort of staying in a pricey hotel was far from ideal. With a month and three days until the looming deadline, OP turned to the online community, seeking advice on their legal standing in this intricate situation.
