I live in a building where heat, electricity, water is included in the rent.
Each apartment has there own thermostat.
My landlord recently installed thermostats that limit the maximum temperature.
Does anyone know the legality of using space heaters?
The new thermostats are wifi enabled so they report back to the building manager.
If the temperature is raised with space heaters and is kept at too high a temperature, can the landlord evict you?
