I had no idea you were required to keep a certain temp. in your New York rental. Of course I have never lived there, but the thought never crossed my mind!

55 is not too comfortable esp if you are not tucked into bed.

Hi Michele, thanks for sharing the great information. The landlord in Florida have to provide heat without the temperature limit because the long term tenant is paying for the electric bill.

Of course if the utilities are separately metered and the tenant pays for the heat then the landlord has not responsiblitiy for maintaining a certain temperature.
