I have been without heat since Friday night. My place is an ice box.

I called the emergency manager of my place so I am waiting for them to show up sometime today or this evening to fix it. Same thing happened last year.

Cripes! It's winter and I don't need this

[cold stiff fingers edit]

UPDATE

The emergency manager came by with his helper and it turns out that 2 parts in the furnace had to be replaced. He saw what the problem was after he took off the back cover. It took about 1/2 hour to fix. The tested it and it's working wonderfully now

My place is toasty again

sheesh. that's terrible. hope that gets fixed soon for you!

Aww that sucks, hope they fix it soon for you

I would go and check into a nice hotel and then take it out of the rent

You wouldn't get away with that in my country - it's clearly stated in the Tenancy Act no with-holding of rent money for any reason, especially not without any attempt at resolving the issue, which Bev HAS done. She could however send him her medical bills for her hypothermia

Oh I am so sorry! Hope hubby keeps you warm!

Jeez, Bev that's the worst!! The province has been getting cold snaps left and right too!

Get your husband to fix it!

That's rotten Luv.

Hang in there.

Don't you have laws there protecting individuals? I mean the cold is hell.

Yes, there are bylaws on the allowable lowest temperature in your rented home this time of year.

That sux

I was out a furnace/heat for 3 days earlier this week too

lows were in the high teens and highs were in the mid/high 30s

It was chilly for sure

try to stay warm

JustErin said:

Its damn cold there right? Like not livable?

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

It's still cold this time of year, yes.

I cannot withhold the rent or else it's automatic 24 hrs kick out notice

I've been keeping active and doing housecleaning. Kept my oven on and left it open for some heat and sipping on lots of tea

Cinnie said:

It sure has. You're lucky you get to enjoy the chinooks that come your way.

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

Now you're getting me going. He knows how to warm me up!

OH NO!! I feel your pain!

Wrap up in an fleece blankets

There's no chinook saving us today and tomorrow, that's for sure.

I would be running the oven too.

"Romantic" as that sounds, that is the LAST thing I would be worrying about if my tush was freezing.

ZombieKitten said:

Exactly to the first part anyway....but since they made an effort to fix it within a reasonable amount of time, there's no need to withhold. Withholding rent is a dangerous thing to do.

:woop:

Glad it's been fixed.

for the update


NOW that the icicles on your tush have a chance to melt, you can focus on romantic things again.

Central free heating rocks so hard.
