CLEVELAND â The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland reported landlord-tenant issues are on the rise, with more tenants dealing with heating problems as we head closer to the official start of the winter season on Dec. 21.
A growing number of tenants like Cindy Kindzi and Betty Brown of Cleveland are turning to News 5 for help, reporting they have been dealing with no heat or hot water for several weeks.
Brown told News 5 her landlord has been promising to repair a broken furnace and hot water tank since early November after the gas company red-tagged the heating equipment as unsafe.
