According to a Daily News report, renters at a south Nanaimo rental complex were without heat or hot water for three days.

The townhouse complex has a history of problems.

Back in early 2008 a teen-ager was stabbed during a “all-nighter” party.

In the summer of 2008, it was where a man began a cocain-fuelled rampage and ended up murdered demanding crack.  His body was dumped in Nanaimo Harbour.

In 2009, there was a horrible pitbull attack.

In 2010, a family with four members was left homeless after a fire burned out their apartment.

Jim Kelman is one of the tenants.  He also happens to be a double amputee. According to Kelman not having access to hot water didn’t allow him to protect his skin when wearing his prosthetic leg.

According to the property manager, heat issues happen and since it wasn’t longer than two days it wasn’t a real problem.
