My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Connecticut
We have been having a continuing issue with our current landlords in fixing a pellet stove to heat our house. When we moved in it was in working condition. It has not been fixed for over a month now, and we've had to use our electric base board heat to heat the house. Our bill is $470, in a 750 sq ft quonset hut. We replaced a malfunctioning refrigerator and the bill has significantly decreased from $650 and our use of lights and the base board heat has gone up. I am wondering as to if they can be held responsible for any of the electric bill as the pellet stove was advertised as the main source of heat and being efficient. Our hot water is heated by propane and everything else is electric.
There is also a concern of PROPERLY fixing problems with the house, as the reason the pellet stove is not working properly is because the husband installed the stove him self and started a house fire resulting in the fire department coming and pulling it out as well as some of the chimney. The reason some of the chimney is ripped out is because he had stuffed insulation in there to "keep out a draft"
