Answer:
First, check your lease agreement to see if it addresses these issues. According to Title 10 or ORS 90.320, a landlord must maintain the rental unit in a habitable condition. This includes ensuring adequate heating facilities that comply with applicable laws and are kept in good working order. Additionally, the landlord must maintain other appliances and facilities in good repair.
If a gas furnace is not serviced annually, it could affect the habitability of the unit. If carbon monoxide is detected, the landlord is generally obligated to disclose this information to ensure tenant safety.
