I rent a condo which has electric heating. My electric bill in the winter was exorbitent. I got the heat pump checked and it works at 1/3rd efficiency. My landlords are reluctent to get to replaced or even fixed. They say say are obligated to provide a working system but are under no legal obligation to provide an efficient system. It appears they might have checked with their attorney. However, I want to confirm that their claim is in fact true, especially considering the environmental impact of using such an inefficient system.

Laws usually vary by location, but I suspect your landlord is legally correct.

It's true what he is saying but unethical.
Hopefully, you won't renew your lease and move from their. I wouldn't want to have a landlord like that.

He's right - is what he's doing ethical or moral - nope, but he's within the law. A tweaky bit of a slumlord.

He's right. You have the freedom to move.
