Until you pay your bill once you pay it should come on a few minutes after.
It will keep the water hot as long as the electricity or gas is on. If it's going to be off more than a day, turn the breaker or gas valve off.
By a shut off valve connecting it to the main pipe to your apartment or house.
Over night is usually best. Then wash it off with warm water in the morning.
Well if its spoiled or "gone off" its bad, why keep it?
If the hallway light is controlled by the tenant, i.e., the tenant pays the electric bill which controls that light, then the tenant has every right to keep that light on or off as he wishes. If you live in an interior apartment building, the common hallway lighting of it should be controlled by the apartment complex, not by the tenant.
The handles you twist to turn on the water are connected to valves. Those valves have hard rubber washers which seal them shut. Those washers wear out. They are easy to replace. The water to the house or apartment must be turned off before they can be replaced. It takes about two minutes to replace the washers. It can take days to get someone to turn off the water to an apartment so the washers can be replaced. New York City loses thousands of gallons of water each day to leaky washers. Apartment owners pay a fixed fee for water. They do not bother to pay to have washers replaced.
get water in a spray bottle and spray them with water

When washing dishes, turn off water when using soap. Also you can turn off water while brushing teeth, when you rinse, then you can uses the water.
