My boiler has been broken for weeks. Should my landlord give me heaters?Beta*

Heating and hot water are repairs the landlord must keep working, and in cold weather a broken boiler should be treated as urgent. There isn't a specific rule that says "provide heaters", but asking for them is reasonable while you wait for a delayed repair, and most landlords will. If you have to run electric heaters or go elsewhere to wash, keep a record of the extra costs, because you can ask for them back along with a rent reduction for the time you went without. If the repair isn't done promptly, report it to the council's environmental health team. A home without adequate heating can be a serious hazard.
