Recently our pipes froze and the landlord put a heater in the basement/crawl space and now our heat bill went up 75$ should our landlord be responsible to help pay for the difference in our bill?

Read your lease. The answer COULD be in the lease.

What, no lease? Or, you just don't understand that darn lease.

No worries, how do you think you can get or make your landlord help with YOUR electric bill?

I'll answer for you. You can ask him or her. He'll likely say, after he finishes LAUGHING, no way, it's your bill.

So, now what?
