House smells like rottenwood in vents windows#

Make sure you have a CO & smoke detector. Ovens can also heat the house, he can't keep ypu from 'cooking' electric blankets are wonderful. It's easy to hide the heater - like when you go out. I'm a very honest person but if someone lies and cheats me, I'm less likely to worry about ethics, especially when heat is an essential aspect of a habitable home. You can block off the vent and use an electric heater. Probably not a verb If I had a penny for every slumlord I've had. It's not easy to move and not good to have the fact you broke your lease on your record. Also, I'm not 100% sure of my rights, but could the duct work in the house not be up to code? Surely this shouldn't be happening in 'seperate' units.

Is there anything I can do? My vent even has a grill that can be closed, but it does not limit the smells in any noticeable way (even with the windows open) plus, obviously, I lose heat. I talked to my landlord this morning and he's coming by tomorrow, but I'm not sure what can be done. The smell is strongest in my bedroom, and it's noticeable in the hallway and the kitchen, but my roommate's bedroom and the living room doesn't seem to be affected. The issue is that I'm constantly smelling everything my neighbours do, but mainly cooking. It's the top floor of a two-storey house, with two other tenants (a couple) who live on the main floor, and one guy who lives in the basement.Īs I live in Toronto, our winters are cold and the heat is pumping. A month ago I moved into a two bedroom apartment with a friend.
