Re: landlord&tenants
I think that your best bet is to move. If you have a lease you are bound by the terms of the lease. If the lease says that you have to pay heat and water you are stuck with it. You are also bound by the terms of the lease about moving out and when.
If there is no lease you have to give 30 days notice from the last time you paid your rent.
The landlord cannot shut off the heat. You could have called the health department who would order him to put the heat back on.
No matter what you do, I don't think you can repair the relationship with your landlord.
