Thank you Richard!

You're a genious! I will suggest this to the landlord.

: You have to think backwards.....since the thermostat is downstairs in your landlord apt,
: it is getting too warm at that point.....so the thermostat shuts off when it reaches the assigned temperature
: So you have to turn down his radiators and even shut ONE of them off if he has one that is
: way too close to the thermostat, that will make the thermostat stay on longer and VOILA... YOU get more heat!
