>(A) The owner shall provide and maintain in good operating condition the facilities for heating every habitable room and every room containing a toilet, shower or bathtub to such temperature as required under 105 CMR 410.201.
Seems pretty cut and dried. You paying for the gas doesn't impact it, they need to have installed equipment to put heat in each room (ducts, individual heaters, radiators, whatever), including the bathroom.
Next question is do you want to give your landlord a really big problem over this and deal with what that might entail, or suck it up. If you have a good deal on the place and want to stay more than one year, and/or live in peace without an angry landlord, definitely something to consider.
Gonna be absolutely cold AF in your bedrooms this winter. I would probably start by talking to the landlord, and seeing if you can work it out with them. If not, calling the public health department should result in them lighting a fire for you. ðŸ¤
