Why isn't the Landlord fixing this?

I thought heat was pretty standard when you rented a place.

xoB of course not! I had a billion things to think about for the last two weeks...

Tril I only started pursuing them yesterday at 3:30. If they don't call me today I shall take action on my own and bill them for it, that's how I normally roll.

Do it in writing, and send it by 1st class mail, and give them 3 business days to respond... unless the weather is/turns cold.

Otherwise, your landlord may be able to put the bill back onto you.

It's below freezing at night and the place can't be dehumidified when it's cold, that's emergency conditions enough for me.

OK, I wasn't aware it was already so cold in your area.

HUD and most state laws put responsibility for adequate heat/water/sewage on the landlord.
But timely written notice and proper delivery are necessary in most situations.

I wish I had the tools, and access to parts, to help you out.

It's OK xoB... the residents have figured out where there is heat... in front of any space heater!



And the real service guy is due here at 12:12.

Getting the heat turned on ... it's a good way to observe 12/12/12/12/12!

Such a cute picture of Pearl!

Yeah, I didn't catch it all but he's headed back to the shop for some sort of putty, which sounds like maybe a dry gas kind of thing?
