Reply to comment by mjarrett in Washington Landlord Responsibility to provide heat by Cocogoat5

That doesn't absolve the landlord from the legal requirement.

At worst the landlord could be forced to provide a $20 space heater, and even that could be debatable.

The point is that the landlord has plenty of very cheap remedies that avoid responsibility for breaking the lease, and holding the tenant responsible until it's re-rented.
