<p>He has to split the bill…what a joke. And he would be benefiting from their heaters keeping his room warmer and the common areas. Electric bills always have a base charge too and if they turn everything off and they are going to have a big problem with pipes freezing. Replacing pipes behind drywall is not going to be cheap. I asked my daughter what she left the heat at when she came home for Christmas break last year. She wasn’t the last to leave so she texted the roommate who was there last. She had turned the heat OFF!! My daughter quickly called the landlord who luckily was in town(or we would have been driving there!) and he went and turned it on. Kids don’t always understand the ins and outs of home ownership!</p>
