After over a month of living without gas, heating or hot water, residents in two Cleveland apartment buildings will be pleased to know their landlord can really feel their pain.

Richard Naumann, who owes his local gas company over $100,000, has been ordered to serve an indefinite period of house arrest in one of his substandard apartments by Lakewood Municipal Judge Patrick Carroll.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Naumann will have to live in one of the apartments, alongside his disgruntled tenants, until the buildings are brought back up to code.

Naumann’s sentence includes wearing an electronic tagging device so his whereabouts can be tracked 24/7 - he’s only allowed to leave the apartment to go to work between 8am and 6pm.

Gas service to the properties was cut off over a month ago due to Naumann’s outstanding account balance.
