You should contact the gas company very soon. Gas is dangerous if not propdealt with.
It's just my opinion, but until title changes hands, the tenant is still the tenant, and the landlord is responsible for replacing the water heater.
mine dose not.
it could be the anode rod in the water heater, it also smells like sulpher!
If it is a "rotten egg" sulfur smell it is bacteria. Flush the hot water heater and turn up the heat to between 130 and 140 degrees F.
Because it is burning.
First of all the word is TENANT. Generally speaking, the answer is no. A landlord cannot control the behavior of his tenant. If the tenant is too loud you have the right to call the police and let them handle the situation. Generally speaking, you cannot withhold the rent from your landlord because of an annoying condition. If there are maintenance issues with your apartment such issue interferes with your essential living -- for example, your water heater goes out -- then, following your State's landlord and tenant law, you can follow the guidelines to remedy this situation. For example, in Florida, if your water heater goes out and you notify your landlord at least seven days before the rent is due, and the landlord does not fix the water heater, then you can have the water heater replaced yourself, then deducted from the rent.
No, hot water heaters don't typically have a smell. If you are smelling fumes, you could have a leak in your gas line.
Does it have a funny smell? it could be leaky heater core
It would seem to me that if the smell is in one faucet it would be in all faucets. It may be that you are only using the hot water in the kitchen which could be the odor from a water heater. Water heaters can emit an odor which is caused by bacteria and the sacrificial rod in your heater.
possible leaking heater core
check the drain line on the a/c or does it have antifreeze smell to it then it could be the heater core
Theres a leak. Probably a hose but could be radiator or heater core, water pump or engine core plug
