Before I could provide a definitive answer to your question, I would need to review your lease. However, if your lease includes an unqualified provision which requires the landlord to maintain the furnace, then his failure to do so may constitute a breach of the lease. However, please be advised that you cannot rely on this answer as legal advice as I have not had the opportunity to review your lease.
