I’m in a rental with an unfortunate landlady. Over the last few weeks we’ve had issues with hot water ranging from none at all to luke warm to hot then cold. The current situation involves luke warm water but no hot. The landlady now says she has to replace the boiler altogether and to do that she will have to wait until the warmer weather arrives so as to not disrupt the buildings heat. My question is: 1) does it take long to replace an existing boiler, and 2) what is the temperature or time threshold for providing tenants with heat? Personally we do not need heat when it’s 55+ degrees outside. Is the landlord just buying time or is this a legitimate concern of hers?
