How suspicious does this look????

[MR.Grass]

OK thinking of renting an apartment but only turning on electric.Does that by any chance raise a red flag?I wont live there just a spot to grow

I would say it depends on where you live...it would look quite suspicious to me if someone rented an apt in maine and didn't pay for heating...

hell no..You can run everything on electric.hot plate, refridgerator, elictric sove people will prob think you one of those guys..If you plan on using 20-30 k then yeah its little suspicious.

ever heard of electric hot fans and portable electric radiators/room heaters..
I know what you mean tho but hey i think it will fly.

If you get a place that uses only electricity you're fine. Find someplace that doesn't use gas. You'll still be using water and with cell phones these days it's not unusual to see no land-line telephone in an apartment. Hell, I have friends that don't even want or have cable/satellite TV. Should be fine if it looks like someone lives there to the neighbors and your landlord isn't a nosy prick.

EDIT : Paying your rent and bills on time is another sure fire way to help stay under the radar.

unless the hot water is gas powered then some1 might wonder why no1 ever takes a shower in that apartment. but hey thats IF someone took the time to be that snoopy for no reason.

shit im retarded....egocentrism....im used to growing up in houses w/ oil/coal stove so electric heat was the last thing on my mind...

good thing someone is on their toes, good call wyteberry

 

[sebastopolian]

I dont think its that suspicious, people heat with electric heater's. I be more worried about smell... Get a good carbon filter. Good luck & happy growing.Peace

No problem just trying to see where it goes..When i moved into a unfurnished apartment i had no stove..The hot fan was what i had to use..Lmao

I'd be worried about neighbors being nosey about scheduled activity.. If your arriving and leaving frequently @ the same times daily it may be suspicious. And no one staying there @ night may cause neighbors to be suspicious.

Apartment grows are scary!

Yeah in a way i agree but i odubt people will be that nosey especially if he aint causing attention.

Well honestly back to the original question , if you only turned on the elec and not the water , wouldnt you have to haul in water for your plants ? That always raises suspicions . Although most apts do include water so it wouldn,t be an issue anways .

 

[wyteberrywidow]

Dont they inspect apt from time to time?

sometimes..You may have one of those supers who dont do nothing unless you tell him too..Most apartments i see get inspected are when you are on some state voucher or program never seen one paid by cash get inspected...

depends on were you live.... if there nicer apt's then yeah they usually expect them once a year or so...

well i guess if you move to the hood you wont have to worry..lmao

You can do other stuff to minimize suspicion too. Find an old sat dish, for example. Put porch light on a timer, anything to make it look "lived in".
