Does your daughter have children? If so, she could check with the local Children and Youth Services office. I would imagine they have requirements regarding children being safe and warm.

Everyone has a different cold/warm inner body thermostat. Maybe the landlord is a hottie !!!

Some places will wait until November 1 to turn on the heat since traditionally speaking late-October weather in NEPA isn't that oppressive to handle---just bundle up! If she's interested we also sell inexpensive electric heaters at Lowe's. We have oil-filled radiators that will heat a pretty good-sized room (a bedroom, for example), selling right now for about $40, including tax. They've been flying out of stock---we sold two full pallets of those alone this past weekend at the Edwardsville store.

In Scranton, landlords are required to have the heat on from October 15 through April 15.

Well see that, the landlord is late. We had frost on everything this morning and I am in the lower areas.......The landlord needs to get the heat rolling. It is surely time.

Oct. 15th is the date I was gonna mention as TomMoser did and I believe the heat in the apartment must not go below 55 at night. Check with the local Housing commission which would be located in the Municipal bldg in town. Also, the landlord is required by law (at least in NJ) to provide a booklet explaining tenant's right's for the particular state.
