well, yes! i had a furnace that wasnt working and i contacted the landlord/real estate agent. here it is -3 degrees in missouri and he said he'd have someone come out to look at it. well, he kept that promise but the repairman said he'd(the landlord) would have to pay to replace it. well, days went by and i was without heat. one day the space heater in the back of the apt.(not the furnace) exploded and i suffered 3rd degree burns on 37% of my body. I sue the landlord and the judge said that my landlord was completely responsible for making sure that someone was doing thier job. so not only did i win money from the lawsuit but the landlord had to give me another place to live while i recovered from injuries although i spent five and a half months in the hospital recovering. it was after the hospital release me that he had to give me another place. FREE OF CHARGE in addition to the settlement i received. so yes, your landlord is accountable for furnishing you another place.
