Frigid Renters

As a renter, I'm usually spoiled (and disturbed) by landlords who overheat our buildings. This is the first year that I'm really noticing a drop in the temperatures. While once a landlord bore the full burden of maintaining a comfortable temperature, this year the burden has shifted to tenants, to use space heaters, sleeping bags, or simply numerous layers of clothing. It's also the first year I've had to schedule my showers around the building's warmest times of day. I'm glad we're no longer wasting energy on steaming buildings with open windows, but I do miss sleeping without a hat!
