Hi everyone - 

I house hack and everything is included (except electric) and when I went over there the other day for something I noticed the heat was jacked up lol. Problem is - we just signed a lease through Dec 2023 saying heat and hot water is included.

I also have a two family- it runs off oil for heat, there's no way to separate those utilities - or at least that's what I was told!

With prices going up with everything I just figured installing these thermostats would save some money but if its more hassle I won't do it.

Thank you!


 This is not a landlord tenant problem, this is a roommate compromise, since you are house hacking. Best to talk to roommates and ask that heat be kept to a reasonable level. Draconian measures like locking the thermostat will likely create bad blood.

next time add it to the lease.


 Great idea, Thank you!

Post: Open house for rental property?

Hi all- I was wondering; has anyone ever done an "open house" style for an apartment that becomes available?

Our tenant is leaving end of January, and we were thinking of listing it mid Jan, and then taking some time to clean it up etc and having an "open house" for prospective tenants the first weekend of Feb.

Any thoughts on this? 

Thank you in advance!

Hi all!

Was wondering what's the best brand for thermostats / can be locked at a temperature to install in my properties?

I don't necessarily want to "lock" in a certain temperature - I just want to be able to set it so it cannot go above a certain temp.

Thank you :)
