so here's the situation. my heat doesn't work very well. i mean, it works sometimes... but i have to go up to my attic at least twice every night to reset the furnace to get it to work. this has been going on for several weeks now and it's only getting colder.
the problem is, i like my landlord a lot. i don't want to get bitchy but i'm sick of dealing with this. he's been over here at least several times per week trying to fix it himself, but it hasn't gotten any better.
what can i do? |

| the landlord has a contractual obligation to you. just ask him to get a professional to fix it. |

Your landlord does have an obligation to keep your working, whether you like him or not. Just say to him "Yeah, it's ed again. I really think we need to get a proper technician in to fix it".

Telling him you don't want to freeze your ass off in the home you pay rent in is not bitchy.
Ffs. |

in most, if not all states in the US, heat is one of the only requirements in a rental. they need to get you at least one of those oil filled radiator heaters, maybe even for each room.
in california you'd be able to subtract rent for every day you didn't have heat.
if you like the landlord just keep up the pressure i guess. or as my fogey parents would say "wear a sweater" lol. eff that. |

| hopefully your hot water tank in your attic is suitable for your place. :/ if it's like a 10 gallon tank for an house with multiple accesses to hot water, then that's no good. |

| Don't you have a cat? It's really dangerous for your house to get super cold as it endangers your pet. Tell your landlord it's for the kitty, and maybe they'll feel a bit more spurred to do something about it. |
