## What do you think? Question:

This question is submitted by Amanda S. out of Illinois

Recently moved into my dad's condo. We can’t hook up the stove without shutting off the gas to the entire 6-unit building. Nicor Gas says the association has to approve first but they won’t. It’s been 1 month and several emails. Is this even legal?

 

Thoughts?
