That is where a lawyer would come in right now.  Finding the right tenant is difficult but it is also something that you want to make legal and when you are dealing with people and property, a lawyer should always come in play.

Next, you want to make sure that you check with any references that the tenant may have offered – if they are good, that is a good sign that they are going to be the right match for you.

So how do you get your landlord to fix that?  Well, one of the first things that you are going to want to do is be polite and just tell them that your heat is not working.  You want to make sure that you are friendly but stern, as you do not want to be taken advantage of.

If your landlord persists that, that is the way the apartment is, that is when you play a little hardball and get yourself online to do some research.  Every single state has laws and if you are anything like me, you know those laws and your rights as a tenant.
