Issues with Landlord and broken boiler?

im having the same issue. Our landlord goes out for days at a time, and the boiler breaks at least once a week. If it happens when hes not home, then it doesnt get fixed and we freeze until he shows up. Its an old boiler and desperately just needs to be replaced- I know hes not going to though because he has no money. I dont know what to advise you to do but I can tell you that Ive already started looking for a new place because Ive been putting up with this for a year. If you have a better landlord, then maybe youll have more luck. Nice knowing im not alone, kind of lol however, you could do what someone suggested to me- Call a repairman, have them do the work, and then deduct the money off your rent.
