Reply to comment by ThatsALovelyShirt in Is it legal to use a wood fireplace as a renter in DC? by Sujjin

Do you know of where I can find any specific regulations about what a renter can and cannot do?

I mean as long as your landlord is OK with it and so long as the chimney has been inspected, I wouldn't worry about it. No one is going to bust down your door and throw you in handcuffs for trying to be warm and cozy.

Check your lease. If there is no information there, it may be wise to check with the landlord before using it.

Start by asking your landlord. In a 4-unit we lived in it wasn't allowed
