Leaking Roof and Ceiling New York state

[Shawn O'Shea]

Hi All -

I have a 1 bedroom house and the roof/ceiling is leaking into the bedroom (over the bed).  It has been raining for ~12 hours and no signs of letting up.  I responded to the tenant's text notifying me this morning within 1 hour and I have a contractor coming out this afternoon to assess the problem. As a landlord, what am I obligated to do for the tenant?  Since this is a 1 bedroom and the leak is over the bed, what do I need to do for a place for them to sleep? Am I allowed to tell them to use the living room?  The lease says they are responsible for any damage to their personal property due to leaks/water.    This property is in NY state.
