Update - Gas not paid! By landlord
1) call the gas company and make sure the gas is indeed on they also may be able to walk you through how to light the pilot light
2) light the pilot light -you need long matches or a long lighter from a gas station
2) get a carbon monoxide detector in the future
It’s not that hard just find a video on YouTube.
If there’s high winds it’s probably going to keep blowing out.
No gas bill wasn't paid by Landlord , lol, ty tho
The gas company may require their own personnel supervise the relighting of pilot lights. Electronic ignition takes care of that on newer equipment.
The guy here said it's a smart system so it's remote.
I guess it won't get turned on till Saturday
1 Never thought of that, really up to land lord tho
2 I tried, I did buy one of those long stem lighter things
I have CO monoxide detector, I have to set it up, it's new, the older model has it also
It's an older one, I prefer to have someone that knows what they are doing.
I looked at a few things on duckduckgo.
Thank you tho.
It might not be safe to light a match if the pilot light goes out. If there is a gas leak and you light a match, it could cause a fire or an explosion.

Ok, thank you for that, eagle!^
My crazy ex roommate took my rent and utility money and my stripper roommates money and didn’t pay the gas bill either. I felt like a fucking idiot trying to light the pilot light. The whole time she knew she didn’t use the money we gave her to pay the bills and watched us try to light this thing-she literally was gaslighting us. I just bought a carbon monoxide detector so I could sleep better.
You might be able to call legal aid if they don't get the gas turned on especially if you paid your landlord. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Bahaha this is terrible but way back when I had that type of heater, I called the gas company to light the pilot and they said their next availability is in a few weeks. It was 50-ish degrees at night and I couldn't take it anymore. My mom told me to report the smell of gas and they'll come over the same day. I felt so bad but they came on over and lit the pilot light for me while I played confused. :-[
Money, WOW, really? ^
That's horrible, so sorry!^
My guy upstairs asked me if I gave him (landlord) the bill, & yes I did, he picked it up a day or so after it arrived here..
The one guy & I got in an argument, bc I told his girlfriend not to run a huge loud blender at 5 am, they are going to do whatever they want
Upstairs guy says he hears then slam the doors, deliberately
He complained about my white noise machine, then he's all, don't say anything to us, fine don't say anything to me.
Now they're in the kitchen having a loud tv show on::) to be even more obnoxious
^^^ I think this a common thing amount dancers and cam models. It’s hard to find a good place to live because of what we we do for living.
As a dancer, I make cash, so it’s hard to find a good apartment complex that will rent to me because I don’t have regular job. My last land lord was trash too. I moved to a place with better management and neighbors, but it’s not that much better than the last place.
I guess we do the best we can with what we have for now.
Your landlord has to keep your place habitable. If they don’t get that fixed tomorrow you need to call legal aid ASAP. It’s getting warm, so luckily you won’t die without heat, but still! You need hot water.
Well this LL doesn't seem to want to pay the bills.. It's fucking cold in this house, it's been in the 40's (day) & 30s at night.
Running a small electric heater, electric blanket, fully dressed w/my hat on & still cold..I couldn't dry my clothes I'd washed yesterday, & thinking of taking $off for these no heat days.
Concerned about upcoming weekend it's supposed to be turned on remotely, but, who knows?
Washer/dryer are leased, that bill hasn't been paid in over a year, since last LL. Owing like 2k.
They empty the coin box too, which they're not supposed to.. Waiting on their repo ::)
It has been in the 80's and 90's this week.
Have you visited the Elk lately?
No that's a bit of a drive.. I do need to stop by that area
I would call legal aid to today. I think a call from a lawyer would scare them straight
I hate scum lords. My last one tried to get $900 for some crappy flooring that came up. It’s not my fault you choose cheap vinyl instead of real tile for the bathroom. I let it go to collections-they’ll have to sue me before I pay it out of principal. I was so scared living in my old apartment and they didn’t even care! They blamed me and shamed me whenever I reported my neighbors. I hope you get out of there. Sometimes you have to stand up to these bullies. I hope you call legal aid. It took me a couple of months to find a better apartment being a cam model, but I did eventually.
He said account got canceled, (it's paid up tho) they are coming out today later on.
The guy upstairs had told me it'd be turned on remotely
