what are my options if landlord refuses to fix heat? Its been two months.
The landlord is required by law to provide heat for the renter. There is no way around that. I would suggest you find a legal aid as it has been over ten days. You will have a good chance of locating renter’s rights through the local housing authority. This is sometimes associated, in part, with health and welfare. There is no excuse for not repairing heat during the winter. I would suggest seeking legal action. If you have regular access to the internet, I would suggest you begin with rentlaw.com. They have a list of all fifty states and links to their tenant-landlord laws for each state. This way you know your rights for the future.
