I'm more ticked at the fact that my roomie undercut my demand for heat by passing off as an angry-girl-ranting.

Makes me r...Oh, sweetie, I COMPLETELY understand... Makes me remember the apartment Ditto & I lived in last year, when our heater kicked it in mid-January, FOR THREE WEEKS, and it was an average of 44 degrees (although I think that's the lowest temperature my space heater can register), and I had a HEATED, 15-minute argument with our landlord, who claimed he had just visited our apartment and that the heat was working just fine. Um, yeah. Fine. Fine for a polar bear, maybe? Fine for an ice cube? Fine for who? Needless to say, I IMMEDIATELY contacted Hennepin County, and for a $55 fee took legal action! Our heater was magically fixed the day before we were supposed to all appear in court :) Until it stopped working again in April. <BR/><BR/>Which is why I didn't feel so bad telling my rental company that A) they sucked, B) they take advantage of poor college students, and C) to shove it up their asses, when they asked me why we weren't choosing to renew our lease :)<BR/><BR/>SUCK IT, UPi RENTAL! ASS CLOWNS!<BR/><BR/>Obviously, this all is still a very tender subject for me.<BR/><BR/>Quite honestly, I would:<BR/>1. Submit something IN WRITING to your landlord/rental company that your heating is broken and that if it's not fixed in X days you'll contact the city, and document every time you talk to them about heat in the meantime or that you've talked to them in the past about heat,<BR/>2. Contact the county or the city office to see what sort of tenant rights you have (because heat in winter is a Minnesota statute), <BR/>3. Move out when your lease is up, because if they F you over once, they're sure to do it again!<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the rant, but I hope this gets better for you!Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870527550255669643noreply@blogger.com
