Bro, you don’t have heat in your rooms. You asked for help.

I offered good faith advice.

Nothing was condescending. That’s on you if you choose to read it that way.

If you feel the need to puff your chest out and try to act like you know everything and “went to school for it” and want to still claim your apartment is legal and “not shitty”…ask yourself why it doesn’t have a proper heating system.

100% it wouldn’t pass any occupancy in ANY town in Mass if it has habitable rooms with no heat source. Thus my comment on it not being legal.

I have seen the paperwork, it is 10000000000% legal, trust me. I don't want to write too much in case my landlord ever somehow saw this. It is just one of those situations that is kinda shitty but legal. Like a loophole. I can get all the rooms to the correct temperature so that's why.

The rest of what you said is correct, it's just based off of an entirely different scenario is all. If it was illegal, then definitely, yes.

The explaining how fires start and why space heaters are dangerous part definitely sounds condescending. Just comes off as if talking to a child or clueless person explaining how fires start, that's all.

Like I said, if you want to interpret folks trying to be helpful as treating you like a child…that’s on you. I talked to you the way I would have talked to my best friend.

YOU came here to solicit advice.

YOU talked about using space heaters for heat (yet now are defensively saying that without space heaters you can “get all the rooms to the correct temperature”)

I wish you the best. But you are reading all sorts of things into my comments on your own accord.

You need to read more thoroughly. I mentioned that I used them a few times but not anymore and that it's not an option, not using them.

And yes, I can get the rooms to the correct temperature using the supplied heating source, I just have to turn the thermostat up high. How is that confusing?
