I have have had an ongoing issue with my apartment management about hot water in my apartment. It is sporadic at best. I

Hello and welcome! My name is ***** ***** I am a licensed attorney and will try my best to help with your situation.

You will likely be offered a live phone call by the website. It is not from me.

If you would like a call, another attorney will provide that service. I only work on the website. and prefer to type my responses so they are in front of you.

There may be a short delay in my responses as I type out an answer or reply as I am an actual independent practicing attorney, not an employee of JustAnswer.

The landlord would be in violation of RCW 59.18.060 as well which says:

.

The landlord will at all times during the tenancy keep the premises fit for human habitation, and shall in particular:

.

(11) Provide facilities adequate to supply heat and water and hot water as reasonably required by the tenant;

.

So you would have legal grounds to sue them under 070 if you wanted to force them to make repairs and they don't take action after you give them written notice first.. It would be a good idea to get a digital thermometer and then take video of you with the hot water only on to show proof of the temperature on at least a couple different days so use as proof in court..

that just adds further evidence you can use to sue them to force them to make repairs and for damages..

You need to send the landlord a written demand for them to fix the hot water problem and give them 24 hours to make repairs... Send it to whatever address you have for them... regular first class and also certified mail.. so you have proof..

.

Then if they don't fix the problem in 24 hours, you can sue them in court... In the meantime, get your digital thermometer and start doing video of the water temperature when the hot water is cold...

Make sure you reference those two laws so they know what you are getting ready to do in suing them as that may get some action..

Did you have any further questions?
