- spogbiper 4y agoevery apartment i've rented in the last 20 years has had a thermostat with some kind of clock and program capability. never used any of it, but I don't think they are rare
- delecti 4y agoInteresting, mind if I ask where you are? None of the ~6 apartments I've rented had anything beyond a temperature setpoint.
