Landlords are obliged to provide alternative heating and could be liable for a fine if they don’t. In the first instance talk to your landlord and work out an amicable solution if you can. Make sure they are aware that help is available to landlords through the Clean Heat Project to change to cleaner heating and to insulate homes.

As a last resort and if you think your landlord is not taking his responsibilities seriously, talk to Tenancy Support Services on 0800 836 262 and seek advice on your options.

For further information please call the Clean Heat team on 03 353 9276 or toll free on 3653194.
