Unique issue with roommate sharing heat expenses

<p>

<p>We keep our house at 60-62. I’m just sayin’. :)</p>

<p>I live in Maine, and I never turn on the radiator in my bedroom. The door is open during the day, closed at night. I realize that I am at one end of the spectrum on the room temperature issue. My years at a British boarding school left me with, among other lasting things, a preference for cool rooms and the habit of crossing my sevens. :)</p>

<p>The roommate has not yet said he doesn’t want to pay for heat? Then let’s hope he doesn’t do it. I think he’s worried about the cost, but the proper thing to do would be to discuss it with your S and figure out ways to save $$. When my S was looking for rentals in northern New England, we ruled out anything that looked like it would cost an additional couple of hundred to heat each month. And that is not at all uncommon. I think he may be right to be worried. Did they ask how much the heating bills usually ran? Sometimes that info is given.</p>
