Can you get kicked out for no hot water?

This is really,a long story.Ill try to make it short as possible. My grandmother went to an insane asylum,about 2 years ago.My grandfather was living alone for a while,until my aunt moved in to “help him out”.Rather than helping him,she actually ended up wracking up all the bills,and never paying them,and then she moved out,leaving him with bills upon bills.Right now,He owes 6000$ to the pil company,and he has no hot water,because of it. Last week,he went to the doctor because he had hurt his back or somehting,and he was so dirty that the board of health is going into his house and make sure he has all of his necessities,and if he oes,he is going to be put into a group home,like for old people.

My grandfather has never really been a clean person.He doesnt shower very often,so not having hot water isnt as devastating to him as it would be for normal people.

Anyways,If you dont have hot water,can they condemn your house? Or kick you out?

Answer #1

hot water is a luxory, not a necessity. They can’t do anything for not having hot water.

Answer #2

They certainly want condemn the house.But as far as kick him out that really isn’t what’s going to happen.They’ll probably just put him in the group home.Or if he could take care of his self which it sounds like he can’t right now,they would help him move if needed. A similar situation happen with my grandmother they did the inspection and was going to move her.And there was talk of sending her to the old people home,but unfortunately she passed away the next day.It’s always a long story isn’t it.But,that’s just what I know from my experience.

Answer #3

as a nurse, I am going to say thins. moving into a home may well be a really good thing for him. the answer to your question about hot water, is simply NO, as long as he HAS water then that’s all the ‘state’ requires.

but moving into a home may seem dauting, but he’ll have lots of company, all the aminities he needs and he won’t feel so abused, which is what the aunt, ultimately did to him.

elderly people wern’t raised in a world, where what we consider ‘neccesities’ as norm, they were, as someone stated, luxurys.

just visit him often, make sure they are treating him well, and I’m sorry about your nan. mental health problems are very difficult to understand, but still very real.
