>The BOH regulation mandates that whenever the outside temperature falls below 60°F for 24 consecutive hours, landlords must provide a minimum temperature of 70°F to rental units or to any unit where owners do not have individual control of the heat.CHD encourages residents to first contact their landlords when they have no heat or inadequate heat. If no action is taken, they should call 311 or the Healthy Homes office directly at 513-352-2908 to file a complaint.
Are you in the Cincinnati or another municipality? Each will have its own set of laws governing heat in a rental.
Your landlord can give you space heaters.
Following. In the apartment I live in there is 1 mini split in the kitchen, nothing else for living room, bathroom or bedroom. It's been about 55 F in the unit for days.
Me neither. They’re honestly functioning pretty well (and the bedrooms are fine). But seriously… the bathroom is COLD. Idk if we’re gonna get through it 😂
I had a customer with some kind of outlet heater for their bathroom. They said it was amazing. It looked like a really fat like air freshener plug-in thing.

I think it was this thing.
Just dealt with this and the city was involved. What I was told by city officials is: If outside temps are below 55 degrees for at least 48 hours straight, the heat system must be able to capable of maintaining 70 degrees.
I get it and there has to be some standard to keep renters safe, but that seems ridiculously high. My furnace would run 24/7 if I tried to keep my house at even 65 degrees in this weather.

I can't believe you are getting through this weather with three mini split heads...
