No. It is not the tenants responsibility to troubleshoot issues for the landlord.

Id the tenant says the hot water isn't working, the landlord needs to show the fuck up and do the work to figure it out.

    Which translation do you prefer?

    I'm not responsible for fixing it, so I'm going to go out of my way to be as unhelpful as humanly possible

    or

    It's not entirely my problem, so I'm making it your problem, and I'm making sure it's a problem.

    That mentality is immature and anyone who thinks like that is a bit of a dick.

    Solving the underlying issue, I'd agree.

    But you don't go to a doctor and say "I'm broke, fix me".

    There's a basic expectation that the patient/tenant will describe why its not broken. What is expected, and what's it doing instead. (sometimes that needs to be reiterated back to the patient/tenant in order to move, and that's where the landlord failed here.)
