Woke up this morning to no heat or running water. Landlord moved out of the downstairs unit (presumably due to winter incoming) and I have a gut feeling he just shut the heat off entirely, so now I get to sit in my -15C living room while he finds the time to respond to me.
Thankfully he put a lockbox over the thermostat so my partner and I don't turn the heat up too much :)))) would hate for him to incur any extra costs with all the risk he's taking as a landlord :mao-shining:
update used the gf's bobby pin to get through the gaps in the cage and turn it up, but nothing is even turning on :| like the radiators are just dead. going to a friends until my guy answers his phone

You need to talk to your local city like now, you could have died from this. Maybe even talk to your gas/water utility and beg for some heat or something.
You **need ** water and heat. In NYC, they get fined $250 to $1000 a day if they shut off your heat between October and May. Don't know what it's like where you're at. You shouldn't risk your friends life and your own and your gf's by possibly spreading covid more, although I know you have a good reason to do it right now.
What kind of lockbox is it? if its one with a key you could likely find a bump key for it easily enough and be living in a tropical paradise by the end of the week.

Break the lock, what is he gonna do
I don't think you need to go the route of them being purposely malicious. More likely that they just didn't do any maintenance on the heating system and some part shut down, like a pump.
But if it really is below zero inside, there may be a lot of water damage coming soon. Not sure if you have anywhere to stay, but if you know someone with space heaters it might be worth it to shove in.
