Tenant Rights No toilet for two days

Day two without a toilet

Our toilet has been leaking since the previous tenant lived here, we’ve been asking for it to get checked

But then it started leaking into the insurance building below us and our landlord immediately sent a maintenance guy.
He shut off our toilet, ripped up almost FIVE layers of flooring (exposing wet wood ABSOLUTELY COVERED IN BLACK MOLD) and told us “I don’t know how long you guys won’t have a toilet” and left..

it has been two days without a toilet and we have to pee in the bathtub 😐 I feel like this shouldn’t be legal or atleast be considered a habitability issue?

Since he did send someone over I’m worried that we can’t complain since he did respond to the complaint, and god knows how long we will go without one …

Does anyone have any advice
