I'm currently renting a house, and they had to replace the oven today. After almost a month the landlord finally got it installed. They had to change something in the circuit breaker box, and thats where my problem is now.
The breaker box is outside. Tonight the dryer didn't work, so I went outside to check the breaker. Sure enough they forgot to turn some of them back on. They also took the breaker box apart to install whatever they needed to install. It was dark and the covers for it where in the grass. I picked them up and put them back over the box (as it was you could see all the wires and not just the switches). The screws that hold the plate in are gone, but the box cover does stay on and cover everything. The lid for the box also covers the plate and switches like normal.
Is there any cause for concern? Its supposed to rain tonight, and I'm afraid the house will burn down or something. There is two screws that hold the plate on, but like I said who knows what happened to them. Calling the landlord right now is a no go, and he is pretty much a pain to deal with. He really doesn't want to fix anything at this house, so if I called him I'm sure it would be a few weeks before they came to look at it.
