Walk It Through: The Furnace in January

No heat, a written notice, 14 days to start the repair, and a lease that can end in 30.

In January, the furnace stops and the landlord does not answer calls.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A broken furnace in an apartment. A breach the tenant caused, a utility shutoff for nonpayment, and a building condemned by the city are not part of this one.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
