Did you in fact buy this place with the rental heater in it?  If you did, you may in fact have agreed to their TOS when you paid the rental fees instead of having them yank the thing out when you took over.

Add to that the TOS probably has the standard weasel clause of "we reserve the right to alter the TOS at any time, with notice to subscribers, failure to cancel the agreement means you have been deemed to have accepted the revised TOS

Sad part is that if you think this is bad, try looking at a credit card's TOS, you'll pass an elephant :ph34r:

Additionally it is typical of most agreements to purchase a house, for it to include an undertaking on your part to essentially take over the lease or rental from the previous owner - because if there wasn't, the previous owner would continue to have the responsibility - and so obviously the sellor would ensure that such a clause is in place.

So ... unless you struck out that clause the bottom line is it's your rental now under whatever the terms of service were at the time you purchased.

Having said that ... if it's like a hot water heater agreement, you may be at the point where you're just renting it month to month - so see if that offers any relief from your situation.
