When I moved into our place, I chuckled over the plastic lockbox they kept over the temperature controls.
The lockbox appeared to be bulletproof glass, plus without the regular key, there was no way you were going to get to the thermostat.
I complained in the Winter because the property manager kept the temperature controls set to 65. I complained in the Summer because they set the temperature controls at 79 degrees. I tried to explain to them that I had asthma, plus I needed to have the temperature control no higher than 68, so the A/C would eliminate the humidity from the air. They explained the rules of the housing complex, plus the reason for the lockbox being over the temperature control. I came to my beach house from task one day, plus it was so hot in our home that I almost passed. The excess heat in the home was oppressive. I called the property manager plus informed her the air conditioning in our building was broken. She sent over the Heating as well as Air Conditioning tech over to the apartment. The Heating as well as Air Conditioning service pro evaluated the air conditioning unit plus said that it was fine. He came into our home to unfasten the AC lockbox cover plus said I needed a current temperature control. When I got the next notice of rent due, they had linked a $250 bill to our rent for a current temperature controls, a current lockbox cover, plus the charges for the Heating as well as Air Conditioning service pro. Along with the linked bill was a note that had I not damaged the thermostat lockbox plus tried to play with the temperature control, it would still be working now. I walked over to the office, paid our rent, told them what they could do with their temperature controls plus undamaged lockbox, plus said I would be moving the following week.
