I just moved in literally last month and the lease is for a year 😩 I’m debating on putting one final maintenance request in and giving the landlord a deadline to complete. If he doesn’t complete it by that time I was going to get an HVAC professional to come out and repair it. I just don’t want to end up being responsible for the $500 it’s going to cost to repair. And I agree - it makes no sense to wait to repair it as the longer they wait the more it’s going to cost. I’m just not sure what my next move should be.

That’s what the lawyer said - but our furnace is still heating up the unit, just not as well as it should + the inducer motor is broken. Does this change anything bc we still technically have heat? I just pulled up my original service request and saw that they put a note “there is nothing to be done to the heater at this time”. Obviously they just don’t want to fix it.

So what would my next step be since they are refusing to make repairs to the furnace? I could submit another maintenance request but I doubt they will do anything. The only 2 things I can find in my lease that mentions repairs are 1) if I damage any appliance I am responsible for repairs (I didn’t damage the furnace, it was already damaged upon move in) and 2) The manager office is responsible for normal maintenance in your apartment.
