Before the tenancy begins, a landlord ensures the rental unit has a working heating system. California law provides a list of the minimum standards for a livable house or apartment. One component of habitable houses or apartments is heating facilities in good working order.
They don't have to pay for it, but they must usually provide a way for you to heat the unit. Tenants are generally entitled to heat under the implied warranty of habitability -- an unwritten promise that requires residential landlords to maintain the premises. And when the warranty doesn't apply, local law probably does. Most local housing and rental codes direct landlords to provide heat. The rules vary as to temperature, time of year and time of day, but they do exist.
