My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Connecticut


I was wondering what my landlords are responsible for paying because of an appliance that was not replaced, after having an issue with it already and informing them.

The bill was over $650 for 32 days. We lived in a larger apartment, with hot water and heat as part of the electric and only paid $150 tops and our water here is heated by propane, not electric. There is no way 2 people could make an electric bill that high using a few lights, some base bord heating in the small 12x10 bedroom, as we live in a quonset hut, which is a circular roof/rectangular metal/insulated 650 sq ft space.

Because we are not allowed to change appliances are they responsible for some of this bill because it was not replaced?

The fridge was a 24 years old, and in ok condition, but was missing shelves and drawers and I asked for it to be replaced. This was before it was sucking energy up so badly. There is no way I can pay the rent and the electric bill!
