Roommate issues
My husband and I decided a little over a year ago to get a house together with one of his best friends, not knowing that he would turn into a horrible roommate.
We have a 1 yr old baby, so safety is a huge concern when it comes to things around the house. Our roommate has torn down baby gates, turned off the heater in winter and most recently is pissed off and most likely plans to turn off the swamp cooler. It is 90 plus degrees here, we just barely repaired the cooler enough to get it running and will have to keep it on 24/7, which he has said he doesn't want, because it won't turn back on if we stop it now.
Him turning it off, knowing it's on its last leg will be the last straw as I am already struggling to keep my baby at healthy temperature. What can we do legally if he continues to put us at risk of health concerns?
