Buildings with inclusive hydro have one meter for the entire building. No meters for every apt, or individual floors. So they shouldn't notice a thing as far as power is concerned.
But I'd be more worried about the leaky pipe, toilet scenario.
If you do grow put them in a room that building staff wouldn't need access to. There doesn't need to be a leak in your apt, could be on some floor above you and they would have to systematically work their way up/down to find the location of the problem.
how about when u talk to the landlord. just act normal and say r u sure it's ok about paying the light bill. cause i run a couple of computers and like it cold. so i run the a/c alot and what ever else u want to say to them. that way they have a heads up about it when they get the bigger than normal bill. it comes in and they'll be like oh yea he told me he runs more stuff than most people. cause he works online alot. u know instead of them getting a bill that there used to paying. say 100 and now it's 150 just give a heads up instead of a shocking bill
Its all quite simple the manager looks at the bill and when it goes up
Your rent may go up, you may get a inspection from the manager, for electrical problems.
In life nothing is free , time will tell, best of luck.
Also growing with a friend, good luck with that.
Always remember growing pot is like hidding a cow. It smells, it makes noise, it leaves stuff around, it attract flys/friendn/freeloaders
lol; Very wise, you should make that your sig! :stoned:Quote:

If you have a laptop, use that instead of your desktop when possible.
Basically, just do the opposite of what most people do when they have an apartment that includes utilities. :)
The first thing I'd do is look around the new apartment and see if they have individual electric meters for each apartment. Some buildings were built with master meters instead of individual ones for each unit - which is about the only sane reason for an apartment owner to pay for the electricity. Anyway, if there are no seperate meters, there's no way to tell how much power you are using.
Find out if you have anything to worry about before you go about worrying.
