Our apartment has been without heat for 3 days now, going on 4. We have attempted to get in touch with the property manager by phone and email, but with no response. It is the only contact information we have for him.

It’s cold in Seattle right now, but not freezing. My average apt. temp is about 40 degrees. I went out and got a space heater last night.

Is this illegal? Do we have any rights? Can we ask to be comped? It’s really miserable and just plain irresponsible of the management. We also pay them monthly for heat, as we use oil-heated radiators in our old, old building.
