Yes, it’s BF’s fault.
Did I tell you I haven’t had heat in my townhouse since Super Bowl Sunday? The furnace broke, and the landlord didn’t get a repairman in until this morning. The repairman tried in vain to get the 43-year-old furnace up and running, but he said it was a piece of junk and they don’t make the parts anymore.
I’m still waiting to hear whether he managed to convince my “frugal” landlord to buy a new one.
I had to replace our furnace a few years ago for the same reason, no parts. It ran about $5,000. Keep that in mind when you buy your house. You need a slush fund for crap like that, hot water heater, roof, washer/dryer, etc...
But you should be on your landlord’s arse twice a day to make sure it gets fixed. Make him buy you space heaters till it does or something like that. That’s a breach of your lease I’m sure. Jeeeeeze!
NO HEAT NO RENT!
