Can I ask my landlord for compensation if a broken window from a former tenant is causing an insane heating bill?
Did the landlord say he could have painted to cover up the window without charging you before?
Yes that is what he said he would do but he charged me anyways.
You are mostly in the right in this situation. If you didn't tell the landowner about the window, you may be blamed for it if too much time passes though. You still shouldn't have to pay for other people's mistakes, but the landowner can't be sure it wasn't you if you didn't tell them.
That makes sense. Thanks for explaining to me.
That's good, you should let her know as soon as possible and I hope that the landlord fixes it for you asap. You shouldn't have to pay anything for a mistake that wasn't yours.
