Any landlords out there? Tenant smells gas, wyd?

[Michael Steele]

My wife and I are renting, we have a 4 month old, and just recently have started running the heater out here in California. We smelled gas, turned it off. Tried again later, still smelled gas, called our landlord who’s sketchy boyfriend does all the handyman work and repairs. He came out and waved a detector in front of the vents and said you’re okay. Turned heater on again after he left, still smelled gas, wife called gas company, they came out and fixed some other things and said they can’t repair a few of the things due to liability , now our landlord is upset and has to have a third party come out to fix. How is this our fault? We will do all that is necessary to take care of our family.

Let the landlord be mad...he had a chance to fix it correctly/legally and chose not to do so.  Your safety comes first.
