Re: Who is at fault for carbon monoxide and safety in a dwelling?
Your contract is with your landlord, your recourse is with your landlord. Call the board of health. Send a letter in writing
asking for your landlord's insurance company. If the landlord doesn't give you the insurance information within ten days, file a
criminal complaint against the landlord for failing to give you the insurance information.
