[quote=Anonymous]If you are renting a room in that house?

The lease merely states "utilities included".  Renter does not contribute to heating/ac or other utility bills.

Background:

Last night about 8:30 I put my kids to bed.  The thermostat was set to 69.  Definitely a chill in the air so I put the 'stat on 72 before curling up in my bed with a book.

Renter leaves the house at 9PM or so for the evening.  I heard her walking around the area where the thermostat is but didn't think about why.... I feel asleep.  She went out and I heard her come home around 2 AM.  The point of mentioning this being that she was not even home for five hours to enjoy the temperature she had just decided was the appropriate one.

This morning the kids and I woke up and the house was freezing.  I couldn't think why.  I checked the 'stat and it had been set back to 69 degrees.

I don't want to be unreasonable so I am looking for unbiased input.  Is it OK for me to politely ask the renter not to adjust the thermostat?  Thanks.
