We have had some trouble in the past few days during the freezing weather with our heat messing up. We called the landlord since it was 52 degrees in our home and we have a one year old child. She had the repair guy go out there and said nothing was wrong with our unit and that it was off at the breaker outside. The landlord said since nothing was wrong, its our fault and we have to pay the repair bill. First of all, I didn't even know there was a breaker box outside. If it was off or tripped, that is no fault of ours, as the heat was working the day before. Isn't she responsible for this bill since she is the landlord??

Sorry about the all caps also! Thanks!

Also, please don't ask the same question in two different threads.

Breakers don't just trip for no reason. Whatever caused it to do so indicates that something is wrong.

And your LL's failure to tell you to about it, and to check it suggests that the LL is at fault.

I didn't post it twice. I also posted it somewhere else and they moved it here. Thanks for your input! I am still battling with her over who pays. UGH!
