“Dear PoPville,

I was wondering if tenants have any rights to question/stop renovations of rental apartments during the stay at home order. I don’t know if we have any say, but when most tenants are working from home (and not allowed to use amenity spaces) during this time, it is incredibly disruptive to have the leasing agency for our building completely renovating unoccupied apartments. Is there anything we can do? They want us to keep paying rent but to do that we kind of need to keep our jobs…Are others experiencing this issue?”
