This guy will still get charged up until the date the new tenant moves in. Which, if there is construction going on in the front yard, could be a while.

I've asked the company when this hole will be filled up they continue to say it'll be done next month.

It’s a hole in front of a house that you don’t own. Fill it in yourself or just wait till the job is done. Stop crying about it.

That area of the property in which the open excavation lies is included in my lease agreement explicitly. There is an orange barricade around that area. In the construction world, a barricade is a legal boundary and can't legally be crossed without consent of the barricading party. How can the company legally barricade this off if I am paying for this space?

What is the purpose of the excavation?
Is it something the landowner authorized for personal reasons or is the the government/utility company excavating within a right of way to access their equipment?

The hole is bigger than the second pic.

The purpose of the excavation is to run drainage pipes under the new roads they are laying down. My front yard has a giant hole and in addition is being used as a laydown yard for CRP. All of what I just included is barricaded off.

And my mailbox is within the legal boundary of the barricade.

Tell your landlord you just lost your job. You can either live in the house rent free for a couple of months while the eviction process plays out, or they can let you out as soon as you can get out. They lose money in the former and get their property ready to rent to the next payer sooner in the latter.
Of course, I hope you don't care about your credit if they have the ability to hit your credit. And they could call your bluff. . . unless you really do lose your job.

If you owned the house 100%, would you be able to stop the construction work (that sounds like it is city work) at the property? If so, I would call the guy and talk it out. If not, there is nothing the owner can do anyways. Can't get too mad about work that is out of the owners hands.

I’ve never had it take longer than a week from the date filed to evict someone. In Baton Rouge, if that matters.

Your angle should be not only the danger posed by the condition but also that it significantly diminishes the value of the property you leased. A lessor has the responsibility to guarantee the condition of the property. Your lease agreement may speak to how such a condition caused by local government affects the lease. Also if the lessor knew of the impending construction at the time the lease was signed and failed to advise you of it. Could constitute a vice of consent which may have the effect of voiding the lease contract or warranting a reduction of the payments.

Reading the lease is the only answer that is correct. Anyone else is working off of assumptions.

You should bring g in some squatters. Let them live in the closest. Let landlord deal with them
