Who pays for dehumidifier in common basement?
I just bought a two family with a very damp basement. I put a dehumidifier down there but one of the tenants asked about which unit's electricity it's plugged in to (answer: I don't know but will be checking tonight when I go by). They're claiming a dehumidifier can cost up to $400 a year. There are separate meters for each unit. How do I deal with this? I plan on adding more outdoor lighting and I know they're going to ask the same question. Now I'm waiting for them to ask who pays for the light in the basement. Are there any laws in Massachusetts about this sort of thing? They've only lived in the unit a week and I get the feeling they're looking for problems.....
