Landlord repair time

I think your landlord is doing his job in making sure that you are going to have a safe and livable bathroom soon. As for the repair time, it really depends on the extent and complexity of the job. Since the landlord has removed half the ceiling, much of the drywall, mirrors and bathroom sink, it looks like he’s going all out on the repair and that would take time. You are lucky. Some landlords would not even bother to look at the other aspects of the bathroom and would just focus on putting back the fallen tiles. Which would you prefer? A speedy job but will mean that the issue will recur or a lengthy but meticulous job that eliminates the problem once and for all? Is the landlord doing the repair himself or is a handyman there too? Maybe you can ask the handyman for the timeline. For the meantime, use the bathroom downstairs.
