Tenant used Space Heaters Causing a Problem
Yesterday my tenant texted me to tell me that she didn't want to turn on the central heat so she plugged in a space heater. When she did this tripped the lights. She flipped the breaker and the lights came back on but she's informed me that 3 plugs in the living area where this happened no longer work and the ceiling fan and can lights are also not functioning. I spoke with a retired electrician who stated that space heaters can pull LOTS of juice/electricity. He didn't think it was a major repair but I need to get someone experienced with electrical work to come and check each plug. I am going to have this repaired but I wanted to get advice on who she be responsible for paying for this. Me or her?
