Bathtub leak and tenant hotel stay request

Gp G.

Hi All,

I have replaced a couple of old bathtubs with new tubs and put new tiles around tubs and also put new LVP on floors a couple of weeks ago in the upstairs master bedroom bathroom and upstairs hallway bathroom. As per the tenant water was leaking in the ground floor living room area when she took a bath in the second bathroom this weekend.  She gave a complaint to county code enforcement (I think the third time in the last 1 month has not paid rent yet) who took pictures and reached the PM to fix it soon(all this happened  over the weekend Sunday one day). The PM said since this contractor is my contractor I have to call him to fix it. I hired this contractor from one of the online portals who is no longer lifting the phone.

The PM took 3 days until today to find out what the issue is. All the time till now they are saying roof leak without knowing anything about issues as the tenant is also not reachable. Now the tenant is asking for hotel stay. I asked the PM to send his vendor to fix these issues as soon as possible. I did not approve or disapprove the tenant hotel request. 

Am I obligated to provide the hotel stay to the tenant in this situation? It is not a bad leak at all as per the photos and videos i got. Obviously this tenant makes everything out of proportion and calls county code enforcement for all small issues instead of calling PM and reporting issues. Please advise

Thanks,
