I wanted to check back again and if there was any difference in temperature sort of speak as far as collecting rents in bitcoin or any other new perceptions as it applies to RE investing etc. 

It seems to be a common occurrence that they hold off until the temperature rises, based on what I'm hearing.  

Chances are their determination for reasonible rent is not the same as the tenant's definition of reasonible temperature.   

Keep the temperature at some minimum and then charge rent accordingly?

I don't know what to ask about winter conditions and the problems that arise from sub-zero temperatures.  

I'm not too sure what kind of baseboard I have, but apt temperature wouldn't go pass 50 degrees..

.- The house has been unoccupied for the last 12 years, my main fear with this is that the pips may have burst 4 years ago when Ireland had record low -15 temperatures. 

You could also say this is a maintenance issue.The same tree with the branch damaging your roof is blown over in a storm and damages the house - this would be covered as it was a sudden event.Another potential issue is negligence - If there was a condition at the property that you were aware of and did not remedy it gives the insurance company an opportunity to decline to pay like the tree branch above.Here is two examples with very different results"Ex 1- If you knew there was an electrical issue and did not make repairs or delayed repairs beyond a reasonable amount of time and later that issue starts a fire...Because you knew about the issue it opens up for the insurance company to decline - they may pay or they may not so don't leave yourself exposed and make repairs when they are needed.If someone was injured in the fire they could claim negligence and opens up for them to come after you personally and violate the protection of an LLC.Ex 2- One of my clients furnace went out in his rental property and with below zero temperatures a pipe burst causing a LOT of water damage.

Talk to other owner in a condo complex and take the temperature of the HOA.

Many people run the water and it's a waste as is the temperature control for the AC/Heat.
