Tenant Leaving Water On
I suppose the oldest tenant trick in the book is to deliberately leave hot water running so as to jack up a landlord’s heating costs. Any good advice on how to combat this and document it? I currently have access to the apartment below (but won’t for long) which I assume will help. And I’m…
I suppose the oldest tenant trick in the book is to deliberately leave hot water running so as to jack up a landlord’s heating costs. Any good advice on how to combat this and document it? I currently have access to the apartment below (but won’t for long) which I assume will help. And I’m not the least bit adverse to legal action, but am wondering exactly how to extract proof of the situation.
of course, all the greenies on this site realize these motion sensors run offa batteries, right?
Rob, I was going to defend you before, but I see people have fun busting your chops. I very much like the motion sensor faucet. A motion sensored shower would be even better. Keep him moving…
all you need to do with motion activated plumbing is play with a few wires in the sensor box or underneath the plumbing. so that might not work, tho im betting the tenant aint the smartest crayon in the box. honestly sounds like a sociopath. if they really are RS RC youd THINK they’d do their BEST to be the perfect tenant, right? i know i would! i wouldnt want to make waves (ha! waves! get it?)

“Replace his water-faucet with a motion-activated one. What’s he going to do, wave his hand under it for an hour to get back at you? ”
No, he’d just put a piece of tape over the sensor.
“Replace his water-faucet with a motion-activated one. What’s he going to do, wave his hand under it for an hour to get back at you? ”
how bout the shower??
“BTW – Rob you are a fucking idiot and destined to live in poverty because of your limited intelligence.”
Not intelligence, attitude.
Man. Taking you at face value, your tenant wins the award for dooshbaggery.
And asshattery. People suck.
While you’re documenting and blogging little Maria doesn’t have fresh water to drink in the South America. Stop wasting our precious resources and close the faucet already. Call 311 and log in a complaint before you enter and request a copy to be sent to you.
Wait is there a “311” service in Orange?
