Broken Furnace for 1.5 weeks – Rent adjustment?
By Als
So my two roommates and I discovered that our furnace was broken a week ago Friday. We contacted our landlord and he had a repairman out that day. The repairman told our landlord and us that the furnace needed replacing. The furnace was turning itself off but we could manually turn it back on to maintain the heat in our home, something we had to do every 45 minutes to raise the inside temp from 50 degrees to a comfortable 68. Over night and when we weren’t home to turn it back on, the heat would drop back to 50 degrees.

My suggestion is to go ahead and talk to the landlord as nicely as possible. Present your case and ask for the adjustment. |
