Heating only works from level 5?
Our heaters only heat up to 5, and at 1 to 4, they don't heat at all; it's freezing cold. The heaters are 40 years old. What are my rights as a tenant? With level 5, we'll receive horrendous utility bills. So, we're currently freezing in our apartment.
Actually, the thermostat regulators set after room temperature. So if the heating gets warm at 5, but at 4 no more, the room is already at temp. the stage 4 is heated, or the T. regulators no longer function (actually rare) or are the wrong ones, for the valve seated behind it, that is, at some point have been incorrectly replaced.
The stages on the valves have nothing to do with the additional costs.
Only what is actually emitted to heat is counted. If there’s nothing coming at 4.
Regardless of this, the valves do not seem to be correct. Write to your landlord and ask for review. This is your right first.
But if it gets warm enough on 5 and the master of the house says it must, then it must be.
Your rights as tenants will only begin where you have reasonably informed the landlord, with the request for a timely answer (namely with date, I say 1 week) if, how and when he can take care of himself.
Probably the thermostats are no longer in order. The landlord thing is quickly changed. Beforehand, knocking and shaking sometimes helps to loose blockages (dusted etc).
Or the water pressure in the radiator is too low – heating helps vent. (Farm key for this in the construction market). You can try yourself.
Or, however, the heating is generally set too low (feed temperature too low). That’s the landlord thing.
I would first try to ventilate when it comes to nix, write to the landlord and set a deadline of 1-2 weeks. If he doesn’t do anything, you can reduce the rent.
If the radiators are cold, there are no costs. When it gets warm to 5, it’s okay. You don’t pay for the thermostat, but your consumption.
It’s more expensive if you can’t turn off a heater – that’s going to the money.
Generally, they work so that there is a thermostat in the rotary controller. If it is already warm enough to stuff 4 is not heated either.
Write this to the landlord and give him two weeks of time to fix or bring the heating. Also write him that you will shorten the rent, should not change the situation after that time. To how much you can shorten the rent, you can get to the tenant club or to a lawyer for rental law. There’s gonna be something you can get on with, nothing should happen at all. And in order not to freeze, you’d best buy a few fan heaters. They’re pulling a lot of electricity, but then you’re compensing it through the shortcut.
The radiators are intact, also heat, so what should sun orgie, just because the tenant switches off.
I suspect that the base temperature in the cellar is not high enough. This was also the case with us, when the living room came to only 19 degrees, even if you had placed both radiators on 5. And that’s just too little.
because the tenant nix writes whether he has already contacted the landlord at all, your measure is anything but fair and friendly, if you put yourself as a tenant value on reasonable contact. The full tube with threat of rental shortening should in principle be the second, possibly third step.
I think it’s up to the landlord. Ours, for example, is a full deluxe that you can only pack where it hurts, otherwise it doesn’t matter. And that’s the money.
jepp, there are also such. I’m just cautious with answer when Fraegsteller nix writes to it….
If not, of course, the basic temperature is important, but it also warms at 4.
First time at the landlord or Report home administration before you start the big drama.
That’s all right, there’s 1 to 5, who drives on the highway in the third gear.
since we don’t know the plant when we moved in?
or is simply too low the preliminary temperature
then the heaters again to 5
You have to notify your landlord and set him a deadline, otherwise you can reduce the rent.̄\_(ツ)_/ ̄
