In New Jersey, landlords are required to fix essential amenities, such as heaters, within a reasonable time frame. While there is no specific set duration mentioned in the law, it is generally expected that repairs should be made promptly, especially during cold weather. If the landlord fails to act promptly, it is advisable to contact a legal professional or tenant advocacy organization for guidance.

While it may be tempting to repair the broken heater yourself and deduct the cost from your rent, it is generally not advisable without prior agreement with your landlord. In New Jersey, tenants should first inform their landlord about the issue, provide sufficient time for repairs, and only consider alternative actions if the landlord fails to address the problem within a reasonable time frame. Consulting a legal professional or tenant advocacy organization is recommended before deducting any repair costs from your rent.

If your landlord continues to neglect the broken heater, you may consider the following options: 1) Withhold rent: In certain cases, tenants may be able to withhold a portion of their rent until the issue is resolved. 2) File a complaint: You can file a complaint with your local housing authority or tenants' rights organization. 3) Seek legal representation: Consult a legal professional who specializes in landlord-tenant disputes for further advice on your specific situation.

As a tenant in New Jersey, you have the right to a habitable rental unit with functioning essential amenities, including a heater. If the heater breaks during winter, landlords are generally required to fix it promptly to ensure your living conditions are safe and comfortable. If your landlord fails to act promptly, it's important to know your rights, such as potentially withholding rent or seeking legal assistance to enforce your right to proper heating.
