Construction workers using my outlet/eletrcity
Location: Kansas City, MO
I live in an apartment complex. I’ve lived here just a month and a half now. Right when we moved in is when they started having work done to the front of the building that was only supposed to last two weeks but it’s still ongoing. Annoying but I get it.
Recently though I have noticed over the past couple of days that they are plugging their cords into the outlet on my patio (which is technically closed off to me because of the work). My electricity is completely separate from our rent. I had thought that our first bill was somewhat high and now I believe it’s due to the construction workers. We’ve called the office to complain and they made note that another unit has complained too. But this morning when I opened up my blinds I see that yet again their power tools or whatever it may be are plugged in again.
I know they need some source of power to get their work done. But I don’t think it should be at my expense. Especially after reaching out to the office once already.
Any suggestions on what I should do?
