It's pretty easy to get to $700/mo. There's a lot of old housing stock without good insulation, leaky windows, etc. Leaving a typical server on is like $70. I can see a 3bd 2ba apartment easily hitting $700/mo with an active family living in it. Add in an EV, that's another $50/mo right there, maybe more!

That is very fixable. With $500/month of potential savings the return on investment is very high.

1. That'll cut down on your heating bill.

2. How many people need a server that expensive? To do what?

Tenants don’t have the ability to make landlords fix things unfortunately
