What type of hot water heater is it? Gas, Electric?

Who pays the gas or electric bill (depending on which one you have)

If the landlord pays the the utility, the hot water heater may be set on a timer to reduce the utility bill.

Either way, your landlord is legally obligated to fix the problem.

Conditions that make a rental unit legally uninhabitable

There are many kinds of defects that could make a rental unit unlivable. The implied warranty of habitability requires landlords to maintain their rental units in a condition fit for the "occupation of human beings "123 In addition, the rental unit must "substantially comply" with building and housing code standards that materially affect tenants' health and safety.124

A dwelling also may be considered uninhabitable (unlivable) if it substantially lacks any of the following:126

* Effective waterproofing and weather protection of roof and exterior walls, including unbroken windows and doors.
* Plumbing facilities in good working order, including hot and cold running water, connected to a sewage disposal system
* Gas facilities in good working order.
* Heating facilities in good working order.
* An electric system, including lighting, wiring, and equipment, in good working order.

lol it goes to electric I suppose cause all I pay for is the heat.
and it says in my lease my rent includes hot water and electricity

Damn man you are making this difficult lol

Call your Landlord and ask them if your HWH is set on a timer or another governing device. That may be the simple solution to your problem

If not (by law) they still need to fix your problem.

Im aiming before summer I will have a mortgage to pay. Right now were just getting by on rent while saving up some money here and there.
do it by june 30 and get the 8000 tax credit

As anticipated, President Obama signed the 8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit extension into law on Friday. You can now collect the credit if your home purchase is complete by June 30, 2010. But wait, there's more! The extension also offers a tax credit for people who are purchasing a new residence, but aren't first-time homeowners.

The key, of course, is that the newly purchased home needs to be a primary residence—no rental properties or vacation homes, thank you. Current homeowners within the income guidelines can receive a $6,500 credit after purchasing a new home—new homeowners will still receive $8,000.

^^ too bad no one wants to live in shitty Finland.
Too bad no sensible person gives a fuck about your homo opinions.

I've spent enough time @ Germany to dislike many things at that country.. First of all can't you people act properly in queue? I had to check too many fuckers @ simple queues because they thoguht that it was proper thing to cut in front of me.. In Finland you would at least always lost your teeth for pulling up shit like that. Common respect, or lack of it.. goddamn.

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.
