    I’ve seen it in Poland in certain places too. Some residents of a multifamily block of flats have their heating turned off at all times, but the block owners still demand money of them because “they got passive heating from their neighbours heating”

    ffs as if this wasn’t a service you buy but a privilage to use it

      I mean that makes sense at least, because otherwise the adjacent neighbours will be having to pay more as they’re still heating their apparent. You do have to make some sacrifices when living in a block, that’s one of them.

        you have to make some sacrifices when living in a block, like paying for extra heating if others have it turned off :)
