Your heating system and insulation suck. You shouldn't really set it below 50.

oh i know. nothing the landlord will do though. mass save won’t work either because not all floors want mass save to come, so we can’t get it. landlord doesn’t care at all. he’ll get frozen pipes if he does and maybe he’ll learn

If he gets frozen pipes his insurance will bail Him out and you’ll be stuck in an ice box for a few weeks
