I moved into a two unit house and am splitting the electricity cost with the other tenants. I suspect the other tenants are running a home laundry business as I can hear their machine running for 5+ hours on end most days.

My lease doesn't prohibit business activities. There is no way any normal family needs to do that much laundry. Is there anything I can do since I'm partially finding the electricity costs for their business? Plus there's the noise associated with it (not crazy loud, but it's definitely noticeable).

Also, I should mention that the other tenants have more "power" than me -- they manage the utility bills, the electrical box is in their unit, and they have been in the main unit for many years.

Edit: Can we please just assume for the sake of discussion that it is a business (there are laundry gig jobs fyi). In that case, do I have any legal recourse or is asking nicely all I can do? If I am in fact assuming the worst of a perfectly normal laundry situation, then you can bask in the knowledge that I will be found to be the ass soon enough.

I'm contemplating between a used Evil Offering V1 and Forbidden Druid V1. I know they're very different bikes, but which would you get in my situation?

My riding background is XC on a 130mm hardtail, but am now getting into more elevation (e.g. blues and the odd black at Cumberland and Squamish). I'm not really interested in charging down chunk at high-speed, super steep stuff, or big jumps/gaps right now. I'm focusing on finding more flow, being more playful in my riding. Oh, and I'm 150lbs if that matters. Thanks!
