Question

I had (still have) a gas leak in my apartment, a guy from Nimo came right away and told us we need to leave right away it was so bad until my landlord fixed it. My land lord fixed it with teflon tape is that even safe I would think he would have to replace a part? We still smell the gas but he won't do anything about it still.. Which by law is he required to fix it?

Answer 1

weather it is by law or not your safety come First. if your are not satisfied do what you think is best for you.

Answer 2

Have the Gas company check for leaks. If you have one, your landlord has to pay to fix it correctly.

Answer 3

Umm yeah, CALL THE GAS COMPANY!!! They will be there within 20 minutes day or night with the magic words "i smell gas" then your landlord will be forced to fix the problem right, no mickey mousing it. Your landlord is an *** for not listening to you in the first place when you told him you still smell gas, hes putting your life in danger.

Answer 4

Absolutely! If you can smell the gas get the h**l out of there NOW ! And I do mean NOW!

I worked for the City of Clearwater Gas Division back in the late '80s when two of our inspectors walked into a newly built Condo unit and flicked on a light switch. Four Condo units were destroyed and both the Inspectors were killed.

GET THE h**l OUT OF THERE, NOW!

Answer 5

Run away forrest!
