unfortunately the law may be different in your state but the landlord laws in virginia require that major services such as hot water/ac and heat be fixed within 24 hours or they have to pay for the hotel room. Unfortunately, it is still a 24 hour window. I am glad that my realtor knows about my MS and my heat intolerance. When my Ac has gone out (several times this year) they have been quick to get the guy here. Then again, they know if they dont I will call the first person who will come and send them a receipt along with it being deducted from my rent payment.

The laws in FL are not great. By law, landlords only have to supply HEAT not a/c. Insane. My landlord is trying to find a contractor that will put in a whole new a/c system today. It's 13 years old and needs replaced anyway.

She's been calling me every 1/2 hour and honestly, she's driving me nuts now. I told her to stop worrying and that we will work things out somehow. It's only one day. I have the perfect opportunity to stay in a hotel for a night . I will give the service company my cell number, duh! Why didn't I think of that in the first place .
