Why does my landlord keep turning the hot water heater down? Read detailed information?

Ask your landlord

he turns it down so he doesn't have to pay out so much money to run  it 

why because the water is to hot , no more than 120 degrees or it scoulds you . hes following the law , hope your not turning it up again , are you ..

If it was ILLEGAL then report the "Bass Turd".

Unfortunately, it is not illegal.  Then if you have seen him turn it down, go behind him and crank it up.  Seems obvious.  Or report him to the  people who can hurt him. "I don't know which office in your town cause I am on a different planet, FFS.

What size is this water heater an how many apartments are in this complex?  You in the U.S.?

If its actually  hooked up this way then you have not hot water because  1 house with 4 people can use all the hot water easily.  So a whole apartment complex would use it in a matter of minutes. 

Water isn't what kills germs--it's the soap. You can wash or bathe in cold water and as long as you use plenty of soap, your germs will die. That's not a valid reason for high water temperature. But comfort is. 

He's doing this to save money. You can get all the tenants together and refuse to pay him rent until he turns it up and leaves it up, IF that is legal to do in your state. (CHECK FIRST!!)  You would have to set up an escrow account to pay the rents into--you can't just NOT pay them. But the landlord won't get the money until he complies. IF the law is on your side here. 

You can see an attorney to write the landlord a letter asking that he turn up the hot water temperature and set up that escrow account. 

Or you can simply ALL get together and visit the landlord as a group, and tell him you will see a lawyer if he doesn't turn it up.  If he has a supervisor, you can call or write them and report it.  

You can't be evicted for complaining--so COMPLAIN. And if you know the law that says what he's doing is illegal (which I don't think it is), you can quote that law to the landlord and let him know you'll sue him if he keeps doing it. 

look for a tenant's rights organization in your city.  also check to see if your city has a building inspector ... landlords get very accommodating very fast if faced with a "No Occupancy" order.

maybe you should turn him in for that

You can start by not FLAT OUT LYING about being old enough to have an apartment.

Then you can learn that if multiple units share the same water heater, the landlord wouldn't have to 'keep turning the water heater down', because no one else would have access to turn it up.

Finally, you can learn that sharing a water heater most likely means if YOU are not getting hot water, it is because the other tenants used up the hot water before you tried.

For starters, hot water in the shower is not what kills germs, SOAP kills germs. Do your friends, family, and coworkers a favor and use soap.
