What are the freeze/thaw cycles like in your part of New Jersey?

Billy also mentioned you have had the pipes freeze and burst under the house in recent years, and you can easily see why.

What were they thinking back then - going out in freezing weather and/or at night to do laundry!

I don't want them to freeze of course but I also don't feel it's right to text the other tenant daily to ask them to turn it up a notch or down a notch.Any suggestions on how to handle this problem that only seems to be getting more consistent?

If plumbing goes bad, around here its usually due to freezing conditions.

Go ahead, balk all you want but it comes down to this simple fact that if you do not have separation of entity you do NOT have separation of entity, such as a bank account used for multiple llc's where there funds co-mingle, any 1st WEEK lawyer would be able to easily "pierce" that veil and appropriate all as one and attach assets and funds, including freeze accounts.

The weather is nice, so we don’t have to worry about freezing pipes.

Also, make sure there isn't a senior exemption or a senior freeze as you probably won't qualify for those. 

This is because it has a senior citizen exempt and freeze on it.

I don't have to worry about it freezing and it's not a crime target.
