What are my options for heating my new apartment?
Hi there,
I just moved to a new apartment. It is an old building with a central heating system where a radiator is controlled from the boiler room. It was a surprise to me that the heating was managed by the building and individual residents did not have control over it. My previous was in a new building where I could control the heating from my room.
I woke up this morning to the radiator apparently doing its job but I felt a little cold. I was hoping to buy an electric heater but my lease specifically says “Use of space heaters is prohibited unless approved in writing by Owner / Agent on a temporary or emergency basis”. How do people usually deal with insufficient heating in this city? I pay my own electricity bill so I don’t understand why this restriction is present in my lease.
