Hi I'm having the same problem accept my landlord does not live in our building I've been able to get him to turn it on for two days but as soon as the weather got warmer, barely, it was shutoff again , rent paid on time always, it is right around 61 degrees and I've got kids as well, this doesn't seem right
The land lord most likely did not turn off your heat. It was probabily the company that bills you for the heat.That can easily be solved by paying your fills on time...
