Landlord keeps hot water heater on a timer

[Zigner]

The hot water is the least of his problems, in other words.

Not to mention that the OP stated early on that it wasn't really a problem anyway...he was just curious about it.

It is amazing how we can take a simple (and, quite frankly, a not-very-interesting) question and go on and on about it for 4 pages. Haha.

It's Friday before a 3 day weekend.

What do you expect?

Is self-control too much to ask?

(rhetorical question )

Thank you all for your help. I was able to fix the timer and make the LL content today, so all should be fine moving forward. One question remains: I saw a message that a user named, "@nonenone22" got a message about hijacking my thread? Please explain if anyone can.

"Hijacking a thread" is when a poster derails from the original topic of the thread. We've all been known to do it a time or two, but nonenone22 is a particularly unpleasant poster who likes to disrupt by insulting other posters.

nonenone actually posted the opening question from his own thread here. 2x. Apparently he didn't like the fact that he was being reported left and right for his filthy, vile language and thought to disrupt another thread. He was shut down in short order.

It is nice that you were able to get the hot water issue resolved with your landlord. Thank you for the update, onelse.

For sure encourage your LL to look into off peak electric use and off peak rates people i work with who live in Wisc can get off peak rates for ALL power used from 8 pm to 8 am by load shifting EG waiting to run laundry and all electric clothes dryer til after 8pm , one i worked with he and his wife avoided running laundry until after 8pm , they ran dishwasher machine only after 8pm and they had chest freezer on timer so it onlly had power after 8pm and meter was set to get two totals every day 8a to 8p then lower rate use after 8p but before 8a , OR the other kind like how our hot water was when we first moved in , all night long on and off to make 80 gallons of hot water with a mixing valve to blend cooler water with hot and then the tank would get power for a few short times during the day and we almost never ran out .
