Um, the United States of America (depends on the state)
In my state, landlords have to keep a property heated to a certain temperature during the winter, but there’s no law saying the landlord has to provide a thermostat. Many older buildings have a central boiler and radiators.. how do you propose thermostats in each unit with that setup?

- tedunangst 6y agoYeah, that's great for turning off the radiator but does nothing for the pipe of pure magma running through the bathroom.
- snypher 6y agoPerhaps with those tasty rent checks they can install a newer heating system.
- masklinn 6y ago> how do you propose thermostats in each unit with that setup? Thermostatic or electronically controlled radiator valves (possibly z-waved to the per-unit thermostat for the electronically controlled one). Don't see why per-unit thermostat would be an issue. And add submetering (using heat cost allocators or heat meters) to provide by-use billing.
- have_faith 6y agoMy assumption from OP's post is that there is a thermostat but you have no control over it due to the landlords actions, not that they should be mandated. My contention is with the landlord controlling the heating remotely in any way.
