You need to read more thoroughly. I mentioned that I used them a few times but not anymore and that it's not an option, not using them.

And yes, I can get the rooms to the correct temperature using the supplied heating source, I just have to turn the thermostat up high. How is that confusing?

I have seen the paperwork, it is 10000000000% legal, trust me. I don't want to write too much in case my landlord ever somehow saw this. It is just one of those situations that is kinda shitty but legal. Like a loophole. I can get all the rooms to the correct temperature so that's why.

The rest of what you said is correct, it's just based off of an entirely different scenario is all. If it was illegal, then definitely, yes.

The explaining how fires start and why space heaters are dangerous part definitely sounds condescending. Just comes off as if talking to a child or clueless person explaining how fires start, that's all.

Woahhh... your post comes off really condescending. Like, I know how fires start, I'm not a child. I already know everything you said actually, went to school for that, but all of it is irrelevant anyway... You went down a rabbit hole....

My apt is 100% legal and not shitty or something. I was just asking about the heater is all.

You did?!? Do you know what the type of heater is called? I've never seen this before in a residential unit. I thinkkkk this house might possibly have been used as some type of office or commercial (or maybe combination business & residential) building at one point. The house was built in the 1800s I know and there's like those old EXIT type signs that you'd see in buildings from the 60's/70s.

And, yeah, I most likely won't say anything for now bc I do have a good deal compared to how expensive the market is rn... But I was just wondering for other reasons that I won't go into if I would have a point if I ever "needed it". Like in my back pocket lol.

Yes, this is what I found also. But it is not clear at all... "...maintain in good working condition the facilities for heating every habitable room..."

This just means that the heating system/element/furnace, etc has to work to heat the unit... there is a lot of ambiguity. It could be read as this means that, yes, every room needs a source like vents, baseboards, a radiator.... OR.... it could be read as though they just need to maintain one system.

Tbh, I have never lived or known anyone who has lived with this type of setup. And I've lived Ina handful of places and been inside probably hundreds of apts in my life lol.

Yeah, I'm gonna do that and i saw that. But I mean, I don't know if they could say just turn the heat up. Like, if I set the thing to 85, I'm pretty sure that the bedrooms do in fact reach 64/68. But then it's too hot elsewhere. So I don't know what the standard would be. I'm sure if I set the actual thermostat to 64/68 tho, that the other rooms are likely not reaching that temperature, since the thermostat only measures the air right near it (which would be warm)
