Hello! My name is Debra (formerly known as Legal Ease). Thank you for your question. I'm reviewing it now, and will post back again shortly.

I am sorry to hear of this difficult situation.
Did the fire department say that they were dangerous?
Debra, Expert
This is a very difficult time for everyone. You don't have the right not to pay the rent. If you don't pay your rent the landlord cannot evict you for nonpayment of rent right now but once things are more back to normal they can. You will owe all that rent.
There is no way to compel the landlord to update the baseboard heaters as they are not dangerous and it is not in your lease that you are entitled to this upgrade.
I do wish I had better news for you.
