I'm the one who got confused, sorry! It's a gas heater not a water
heater. (Somehwere upthread loss of water was mentioned.) Still, if
Gary would need to call the gas company to install a ventless gas heater
he would likely need permission from the landlord. The terms are
spelled out in his lease.
I've lived in a lot of apartments. The only thing I could change
without express permission was the paint colour. I could not have
tapped into the gas line, even if only for my specific unit, without
permission.
Imagine if some DIY guy (not talking about Sheldon) thought they could
install it, saw a Youtube video, suddenly an expert... kaboom! Ooops.
Not a good way for the landlord to find out about it. Heh.
