[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before I can give a good answer, I'm wondering how the heat disperses around the house.   At my parent's house, if you turned up the heat to make their room cold,  my room became a furnace.  Perhaps this is the situation and the renter didn't want to come home to sleep in a warm room.

Her area is the basement and I've never slept there, so I don't know how it heats.  I think that the basement is generally too cold, and the heat rises, so really I'm surprised if it was too hot.  If there is a difference in temp, I believe it would only be within a few degrees.  It's not possible in this house that one area would be say, 75 or 80 and the rest of the house 70.

I think she was taking a shower, blow drying her hair, getting dressed and I'm not surprised if a person would feel a bit warmer at that point than the rest of us.  I know when I'm doing stuff like that I feel a few degrees warmer than I might otherwise.

But you are correct - clearly her reason for adjusting the temp was her own comfort.  [/quote]

she may have adjusted the temp and then forgotten to change it back again before she left. Either way, rather than wondering and posting on DCUM, why don't you sit down and have a talk with her about what would be an acceptable temperature setting for her and your family? -Not to put down your decision to post on DCUM, but it sounds like you're a little mystified by her decision to adjust the temperature, and a straightforward chat would easily and quickly dispel any mystery.
