That would depend entirely on local codes and ordinances. I most cases the answer would be "yes, it is illegal to rent a dwelling that is known to be equipped with heating equipment installed in a manner that is unsafe or in violation of the codes". HOWEVER, even if it is not illegal in your community, it is incredibly foolish to do so and the consequences could be devastating. Poor water pressure can also have negative health risks but obviously not to the degree of the heating equipment.
Call your local code authority for further information.
If the expansion tank pressure is too low in a heating system, it can lead to inadequate heating performance, potential damage to the system components, and an increased risk of leaks or malfunctions.
The recommended pressure for an expansion tank in a heating system is typically around 12-15 psi (pounds per square inch).
a bad seal?
The recommended pressure setting for an expansion tank in a heating system is typically around 12-15 psi. This helps to ensure proper functioning and prevent damage to the system.
The purpose of a water heater pressure tank is to help regulate the pressure in a water heating system by maintaining a consistent pressure level. It does this by absorbing excess pressure when the water heats up, and releasing stored pressure when the water cools down, ensuring a stable and safe pressure level in the system.
An expansion tank in a heating system helps to accommodate the expansion of water as it heats up, preventing pressure buildup and potential damage to the system.
It's bribery, which may be illegal
The function of a furnace air pressure switch is to ensure that there is proper airflow in the heating system. It detects the air pressure in the system and activates the furnace to start or stop based on the airflow. If the air pressure is too low, the switch will prevent the furnace from operating, which can help prevent potential safety hazards and ensure efficient heating.
The expansion tank valve in a heating system is used to regulate the pressure within the system by allowing excess water to flow into the expansion tank when needed. This helps prevent damage to the system from excessive pressure buildup.
hot air causes a low pressure system, cold air then rushes towards this low pressure system to equalise the earths atmosphere. the unequal heating causes unequal pressure systems and air moves to and from those pressure systems.

It's possible, but illegal. Heating system definitely not potable water.
