For context, this landlord is paying the tenants electricity bill and wants to keep the thermostat at 66 degrees (19 in non burger units) and redditors think he's freezing then to death lmao

>Nope smash it with a hammer, especially if you are in a state with decent tenant law

>AND FRICKING MOVE OUT ASAP !!! Never live some where you don't control the environment.

>Pay for the heating/cooling and you can control it all you want.

>That's not an option in some places.

"Guys making my house a fricking kiln at someone elses expense is literally a human right"

>Over my dead body will somebody else be controlling the temperature where I sleep. Frick out of here!

Over your cold dead body lmao

>Alternatively, smash the cover off with a hammer then beat your landlords butt if they have a problem. You're a person and deserve to be comfortable

>Warm up by burning your landlord's corpse!

>TIL that landlords can dictate what temperature is in my own darn place. TIL that Mao was right about landlords.

>What the frick? Is this legal?

The most reasonable solution to this disagreement would be to reduce the portion of the rent that was allocated for the heating bill, and give the tenant the responsibility/freedom to pay the bill instead.

Physically locking the thermostat in a cuck box is passive aggressive r-sluration, and will result in the tenant either bypassing/destroying the box, or moving out (or endlessly bitching online because they're too kitty to communicate with their landlord).

They're probably in a big building with with central heating and there's no way to meter how much individual unit uses. Locking the thermostats is the fair solution because otherwise you get some jerk off setting it to 85 and running up the bill for everyone.

If that's the case, then they're obviously a hustlebustlecel and deserve everything they get.

The tenants who live in these units are, more often than not, unable to handle that freedom. And then your overpriced $150k/door apartment complex catches fire in a tragic amphetamine production accident
