This is particularly applicable to old heaters. There is another generation of storage heaters called Quantum. Quantum is up to 27% cheaper to run than a standard storage heater system and they are programmable.
2 of these will be much cheaper than central heating so the landlord may be amenable. As others have said, the LL must provide heating but this doesn’t have to be central heating.

Yes... If LL wants possession of tenants home, LL has to follow same procedures as for Assured or Regulated Tenants...

The tenancy type is unclear. Appears to have been originally tied at some point. Then employment ceased (date unknown) and AST was created (date and Term if any unknown).0
