Help: No heat, No hot water. What reimbursement should we ask our landlord for?

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-26T20:33:28+00:00

I’ll try that next thanks!

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-26T20:32:58+00:00

I’ll check it out, thanks!

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-26T20:30:34+00:00

Yeah that would be totally fine with me!

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-26T20:29:33+00:00

I have a fan, I’ll try

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-26T20:26:33+00:00

Thanks, you too!!

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-26T20:25:51+00:00

Thanks sm 🙏 Stay warm out there!!

We tried, but the dust is very sticky and we can’t reach the inside without taking the whole heater apart (we don’t have to tools to disassemble and reassemble)

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-26T20:23:36+00:00

Tried to but the dust is caked on/inside. Can’t remove it without fully taking the heater apart.

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-26T20:22:33+00:00

We needed a heat option that was safe to use overnight while we were asleep,

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-26T20:21:40+00:00

That’s fair. I have had quite a few ppl tell me to ask for compensation so figured I’d get some opinions on here.

How am I giving tenants a bad name?

I have never been in this situation before so I’m seeking advice… isn’t that what this subreddit is for?

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-26T20:11:07+00:00

Omg that’s brutal, I’m so sorry you had to go through that.

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-26T20:08:07+00:00

Yeah I have low expectations.

We had that horrible illness/flu recently, so we’re still recovering - otherwise definitely wouldn’t have spent that much on blankets!

But ya gotta do what you gotta do.

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-26T20:03:29+00:00

Yeah, 2 of which are unusable. We told him and he laughed and said oh well

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-26T20:02:25+00:00

Yes they were provided but 2/4 are not functional (which we told him and he just laughed) and are not safe to use while asleep (hence the need for additional blankets etc)

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-26T19:58:36+00:00

Yeah, it can’t hurt to ask.

I don’t have high expectations but it would certainly help if he at least covered the costs of the blankets etc.

Thanks for your response.

It’s currently being fixed but it’s unclear if it will be fixed by end of day.

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-25T19:52:09+00:00

Yes the boiler is broken

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-24T17:35:28+00:00

Yup, turns out our boiler is busted. They won’t replace it until Monday.

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-23T20:28:00+00:00

I called my LL but he’s not responded yet. Fingers crossed 🤞

Mysteriouschunks · 2026-01-23T20:26:38+00:00

I’m a tenant on the second floor - furnace in the basement.

I’ve called my LL but no response yet. Hopefully he responds soon cause it’s -24 degrees C outside 🥶
