Oh nice. I had a landlord that did the same thing in the building with the fire alarm pull. Was just hanging there by 1 nail not hooked up to anything.
This reminds me of how some office buildings have dummy thermostats in them because they know people want to constantly turn them up or down. When, in fact, the heating and air is pre-programmed from a unit not accessible to anyone but building management. Then they have to combat 250 people bringing in fans and space heaters to plug into the power strips in their cubicles.
I rented an Airbnb in Vegas, not a cheap one either. The owners had a lock box over the thermostat which was set at 88 degrees in the Vegas heat. The worst part was I got a text from the owner after removing the lock because there was a camera in the living room we didn’t see.
Edit: I put tape over the lens of the camera, and halfway through my stay, Vegas Police showed up. Turns out it was an unlicensed Airbnb and she got shut down.
