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

If the landlord is paying for their electricity, can't they just buy a space heater?

If you're renting from a dude that pays your powerbill you can't afford a space heater.

Lived in one, they donβt lock your thermostat lol. And its 50/50 whether utilities are included.
This morning, Cum went to the park. I went with Coom. And Cum brought Coomer frisbee. At least I think it was Coomers. By the end of the day, Cum started throwing the frisbee to Cumself.

Nah the tenant usually pays them in my experience but it is fairly common for the landlord to supply the appliances like the refrigerator, stove, washer/drier, etc.

I believe it depends on the region. In the south, the only places that cover electricity are the very low end properties since all the units are individually metered.

yeah idk any normal place where the owner pays for the electric. You have to set up an account yourself after signing the lease. the reddit poster is def living in a family memberβs porch convert/sunroom or something

Older buildings in colder climates often have central heating where a boiler in the basement provides hot water for the tap and radiant heat. This runs separately from the electricity for the unit, and can be gas or fuel oil powered.
If there's an electric thermostat in the unit, then it's probably poor people housing where the included utilities help keep the section 8 tenants from stiffing the power company to buy Percocet or accidental Fentanyl. The lock box keeps them from setting the heat at 85 to help their marijuana grow operation.

fair enough I guess. I know some landlords have duplexes that they live in, like in the up/down stairs unit, so that would make sense to share the heat/AC but if the reddit post was true then the land lord would also be in the brutal, unlivable freezing temps of 66Β° F
basically if you have a reason to b-word about your homeβs heat/air then you deserve it for being drug addicts/poor

My basement is cold when I'm trying bideogame. Turns out a $40 heated throw from Costco works wonders.
My first airbnb was drafty as shit and I was perfectly comfortable with a heated blanket. Didn't think to actually tell the owners until the fridge stopped working because it was below 55Β°F in the room. The single hydro heater couldn't keep up.

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).

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

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.
