Ugh. 3/4 burners on my electric stovetop are fried, cooked, dead. 2 haven't worked since they installed this stovetop 3 years ago, but being a renter I put up with it. Now the other one is dead, probably because I've been using it to boil water since my kettle died.
Now I have to put in a maintainence request and I just have no spoons for any of this shite
Ask politely but being unable to cook probably warrants an urgent repair: https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/housing/renting/repairs-alterations-safety-and-pets/repairs/repairs-in-rental-properties
Yep, under minimum standards a cooktop needs at LEAST 2 working burners. Write them a nice email, request that this be serviced within 14 days as its an urgent repair. Breach 'em if they don't.
You have the right to be able to cook. That's an urgent repair
