Does anyone know what amount of heating equipment that housing trusts are required by law to provide for their tenants? My gas fire in my ex-wife's council house has been declared as not functional by the gas engineer,but he told her that the housing trust will not replace it and she has to rely on her heating. Is this so or can she push for a new fire?
Thanks in advance.

Was the fire installed in the house before your ex moved in? If not, the chances are that they will not replace it.

Yes,the fire has been there for a long time,well before she moved in. It was a gas fire and they servced it every year. This time it failed and the gas engineer doing it had been talking about how inefficient gas fires are and how the housing trust were replacing them with electric ones over the next ten years. then when he failed the fire my ex wife asked if it would be replaced and he said no. So I'm trying to find out where she stands.
