Well, the wall heater was leaking carbon monoxide. Lucky I got the plumber to have a look today.

And apparently the valve with the gas meter is fucked so if it needs to be turned off in case of emergency it can't be.

Thankfully my landlord is a decent guy and gets stuff fixed fairly quickly but still. Jesus christ.

Edit: cost $300 bucks to get it capped off. Jesus fucking christ.

Spoke to the energy retailer. The jobs been raised and someone will be out to fix the gas meter asap

Holy shit dude! Thank goodness it's getting fixed before you got to a stage where you thought someone was secretly living in your roof or something.
