Today, I found out my landlord has bought himself a new boat. He refuses to turn up the heating to save money. I'm freezing. FML

You know, if you skin him, you can wear him like a coat and solve your heating problem. Plus, there's a FREE boat in it if you get his voice down!

Buy a few ceramic heaters. If your rent includes all utilities, you can use electric heat instead of the forced air or steam from the building's central system. And if everyone in the building does that, maybe he'll see that turning the building heat up a few degrees is cheaper in fuel cost than the electric bill involved in not doing so.

I had a landlord like that- all utilities were included in my rent and because they refused to turn up the heat I went and bought a space heater. racked up the electric bill but I was warm.

It's simple. We take the boat hostage.

Not being sarcastic, genuinely curious: Does the UK not have laws against creating unsafe living conditions for renters? In the US it's illegal to let your tenants freeze.

Doubt he/she is "freezing". Probably just a whiner that likes it at 80 degrees year round.

I'm guessing from the context that OP must be a lodger rather than renting a flat or a house, in which case te would have significantly less rights that if te was renting the while place, and in control of the heating. Lodgers only rent a room, or share a room with another lodger, and have licenses (with almost no rights) rather than tenancies.

Um, so clearly his money saving tricks work then if he can afford a boat. That's what blankets are for, btw..

How else do you think they saved money for that boat?

Maybe that landlord doesn't give shit about other humans but maybe he'll listen when you tell him the house will get infested with mold. After all, that house drives his greed.

Your landlord must keep the house between 18and 21degrees by UK law as otherwise it is a health risk. You can get your local council involved. Google Renting a safe home - Gov.uk and it'll bring up PDFs of this

Make sure the landlord sees you hauling a load of bricks into the home. When he asks what you're doing, explain that you're building a fire pit in the living room. And on a related note, he should ignore the sound of the chainsaw - you just need to make a hole in the wall for the smoke vent...
