Heating in Lounge of rented accomodation
Hi all
I live in a house which is rented, I waited 10 yrs for this house, I love it now im here and dont want to move, however, it has one drawback. The only heating in the lounge is an old gas fire and no radiator. I have radiators in every other room but the lounge. The gas fire is costing me so much to run, that I only have it on for an hr in the morning and an hr in the evening. The landlord said that because there is a source of heating there in the form of the fire, that I cant have a radiator put in! I am sitting here now at 7.30pm and its currently 12 degrees and needless to say I am freezing! My son is upstairs all cosy and warm as the heating is on! Can someone please tell me if I have any rights to have a radiator put in, or at least a more economical gas fire?! I really dont want to move from here as I love it here, this is the only drawback!!!
Thanks in advance!!

It sounds like you would like to be a long term tenant so why don't you offer to pay for it.:footie:
