Certain phrases in the parent ("own home") and grandparent ("property owner") would seem to make this comment about apartments somewhat inapplicable. But it really is as simple as that - if you own the equipment and/or can safely handle the load and/or can bear all the costs yourself of any un-safety, then you can do whatever you want. If what you do affects others, those others will object, either in the form of an ultimatum/eviction/lawsuit by your landlord, a complaint/lawsuit by your neighbor(s), an ultimatum or unpaid claim by your insurance company, or an ultimatum/discontinuation of service by the electricity provider. "In America we still have freedom" and calling people "totalitarians" are both a little off-the-hook which I think explains the downvotes.
