Heat And Hot Water
W. Va. Code § 37-6-30 — running water and hot water at all times, and heat from October 1 to the last day of April
October through April. Where the unit is supplied by direct public utility connections, the landlord supplies running water and reasonable amounts of hot water at all times, and reasonable heat between October 1 and the last day of April.
The duty does not apply where the heat or hot water comes from equipment within the tenant's exclusive control.
In a building with more than one unit, the landlord also provides a way to get rid of ashes, garbage and other waste.
A tenant behind in rent cannot require repairs under the section. A particular dispute is a question for a licensed West Virginia attorney.
