A Nightmare Landlord Turned Off The Hot Water For All of the Apartments
When a clueless landlord starts tinkering with the building’s heating and hot water systems, tenants are left to brave the cold and deal with limited hot water in this frustrating tale of neglect and incompetence. These tenants share their experience: In the middle of winter, their landlord thought it’d be a good idea to start playing with the boiler he knew nothing about, and broke it. They lost heat for three days. Being young and fairly easy going, he put a heating pad on my recliner, covered up with a blanket and that is how he kept warm. About a month after the boiler, the landlord decided that there was too much hot water for the building and turned the hot water heater way down. Literally, about two showers were all you could get out of the hot water tank for the entire apartment building. They called and complained and he kind of blew it off until people started getting really irritated with him. He finally turned it up.
