When filing a claim for housing disrepair, swift action is essential in order to acquire evidence and assign liability.

As a tenant, you have the right to expect your landlord to responsibly maintain all hot water and heating systems as well as appliances that they have set up.

Despite what your rental agreement maintains, you must take charge in upholding these requirements for tenants’ safety and security.

Failing to do so can cause serious problems such as mold growth or safety hazards.
