Since a bathroom is integral to a home, he should, by rights, provide you with an alternative during the time of repair. Check with your local landlord/tenant section of the government for rules.

A working toilet and bathing facilities are essential services, so if you must procure them elsewhere (hotel room, maybe?) at your own expense, then you may be able to charge the costs to your landlord, possibly even deducting that amount from your rent, but you should definitely consult with your attorney before taking this action.
