[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I rent out our basement and while utilities are included, the thermostat is upstairs and the renter is not to touch.  My only obligation is to keep the heat at the legal level, which I think is 65.

That said, 72 is really really warm.  Also, the renter could easily have solved the problem by opening a window in their room, which is pretty inefficient for your system, so perhaps you should be happy.  [/quote]

65° is too cold at night it should be a minimum of 68°, particularly as your renter is in basement .  Heat rises and basements can get cold[/quote]

We keep out house at 68 during the day and 63 at night. I am a landlord and have tenants in the basement and for some reason it is warmer downstairs then upstairs. I also happen currently to have a tenant who is warm blooded and is still in t-shirts. I am sure if the heat was any higher it would roast him. I have no idea why in my case it is warmer downstairs but it is important to check on the temperature in the rental space, especially in basements and tenant comfort. [/quote]
