If a fire happens in a occupied apartment it's NOT the landlord or insurance scam. It's the TENANT. Everyone says it's the landlords building down all these buildings. But if you clearly look it's the tenants. People's aren't being careful. So many people leave food on the stove, smoke in bed, plug in ebike batteries, drug addicts and people who use space heaters carelessly instead of fighting for heat. ... If your landlord does give heat stop paying rent and put the money in the bank. Call 311 and take your landlord to court. Yes you actually can take your landlord to court. It's not worth your life using a space heater or stove.
