Comment on My apartment building gives me free water but I pay for electricity. What if I run the faucet nonstop and rig up a hydro turbine in my bathtub to generate my power from it?

That’s a legal. Metered utilities can be either included in the rent, or metered on a per unit basis. In this setup, if your neighbor uses a lot of utilities your bill will go up. That’s why this is illegal.

It’s illegal everywhere in the world?

Seems an odd thing to come together on

looking into my state code, it’s legal if it’s in the lease and they did ammend the lease on renewal to include it.

Morale? no. Legal here? it would appear to be.
