renting basement apartment in portland

[Sierra Maldonado]

hello I recently moved into a basement apartment in Portland or. the windows are great size ceilings are high but was wondering if not having any control over thermostat and still being charged for heat and utilities with no option to turn on separate from top house is legal , in agreement she does state that we are to split utilities based on people they have five adults we have 5 people as well but three of us are under 4 years old it is listed online as a single family home.we have shared mail box, shared trash can( not dumpster) and no option for separate cable. any advice is greatly appreciated thank you
