Reply to comment by evil_iceburgh in Father In law apartment no heat for over a month. What can I do? by BurntHippie

I was gonna say, I don't love my landlord (company), but when our furnace circuit board died on goddamn New Year's Eve, they answered their emergency line and dropped off two space heaters at least, the same day. Was it enough? Not really. But we didn't freeze.

I totally understand in the current climate of things taking a few weeks to get things scheduled and figured out, but we discussed this at thanksgiving that he didnt have heat for a few weeks then, now its almost 2 months!
He has his own space heater, but the rental company has not provided a time range for repair, or even offered up other solutions.

Your outlook is way too patient. This is completely unacceptable in my professional opinion

He was supposed to be calling around, I have been on his case. I just took it upon myself this morning to call the health department and the others listed here.

The calling around part is the problem and a big delay. Any halfway professional situation has some guys they know and can call. Even if it is to rig a system up to work temporarily while they wait for a dedicated service to show up they should have people. I’m glad you called the numbers to put some pressure on this guy. I hope you get it sorted soon
