What is the name of your state? Georgia
Okay so I've read through the entire 44-7 GA code (Landlord/Tenant) and didn't see anything mentioned about limits that must be maintained regarding temperature. Does anyone know where I should look?
My scenario: Came home from a trip to find the temperatures had plummeted in GA, requiring me to turn on the heat. Forecast that night was 29 degrees. After an hour the air was not warm, I called the after hours emergecy line told them my heat was not working. Repair man refused to come out. Left me at home in the BELOW freezing temperatures all night. Over 12 hours later, a repair man showed up (after I had called at 7:30am to prompt another repair), he showed up and had to replace the thermostat along with repairing the actual heating unit itself.
Is there a law/code where there is a lower limit for inside temperature in an apartment unit??
