What, pray tell, shall the landlord do for this tenant…who has stated they have a source of heat?

Reply to comment by RJT_RVA in Power seems to be running at 75%. Grid issue or am I overloading my home? by RJT_RVA
Low-voltage conditions are bad for any electrical device, but particularly motors. A brownout can overheat and burn out AC motors, such as the ones found in your refrigerator, HVAC, washer, dryer, garbage disposal, etc. Here's a list of damage it could cause to your HVAC.

Do you know if it’s a supply line or drain line? My advice is for a supply line

You are correct. It was on the hill there across from Transit Lumber and BMG right along the side of Masonic Lane. I believe it was capped because it was contaminated. There were signs saying not to drink before it went away.

My minisplits are struggling to keep up so I’m using a couple of extra heaters as needed. It’s happening all over and with the holidays and number of people who need service, it may take an extra day or two. I’d try to do the best you can and show your landlord a little grace and patience. I know it’s frustrating- my kitchen was 50 the last two days and mine is actually working.

With the water line off, open the outdoor spigot or sink to drain as much water out of your plumbing.
You also could buy a heat tape to keep it from freezing

Edit: this advice is if a supply (water incoming) line freezes. I’m not sure if it’s good advice for a drain line freeze.

Is it a part of where Gillies Creek intersects there?

Used Capitol Home Inspections. They did this right. One dude showed up and started then 30-40 minutes later another guy showed up and start double checking the first guy. Took a few hours (bring a water bottle and a folding chair) but then they answered questions we had and sent everything in a detailed email that included everything found that was wrong. 11/10 would use them again.

It’s terrible advice to tell someone to go straight to legal when they are encountering an issue over the holidays. There aren’t many judges or attorneys that will support an argument that the landlords should be able to magically fix the problem on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. The better suggestion would be to advise OP to speak with the landlord about possible solutions, like reimbursing a space heater. You can’t threaten legal action without first attempting to mitigate damages. It’s a poorly thought out strategy.

Not sure if it is a burst or what because it is right at a corner weld. Hopefully we can fine someone tomorrow!

Depends what kind of crowd you’re looking for. D5 does bucket night so think 21-25 year olds but very crowded.

This is the only answer. 👆
You should consider, wait you need to call legal aid on Monday morning. There is absolutely no excuses. The landlord and or management companies have to make accommodations. They are both on the hook here. Please don’t hesitate to DM me any questions you may have.
