How to fix the current temperature on an electric thermostat?

My electric thermostat in my rental won't go on and off like its suppose to. It also says its the wrong temp. 70 when its 60 for example. I replaced the batteries but still no luck. I can't leave it on at night because it won't shut off. Then when I wake in the morning all my preset temps are gone like it was turned off. My landlord was suppose to look at it but he is lazy and hasn't. Anyone got an idea how to fix it?How to fix the current temperature on an electric thermostat?Write the landlord a letter telling him the date the problem started, the date you told him, and how long it has been since you complained. Tell him that he has 24 hours to fix it or you will call a repairman and take the cost out of your rent. If you have to get a repair guy, make sure you give the landlord a photocopy of the receipt, not the original.



Don't make repairs yourself, if something goes wrong, it will be your fault, and you will have to pay to fix it, even if what you did isn't the problem, because you didn't get landlord approval, or a qualified repairman.
