I cannot contol the heat in my apartment, the thermostat is in one of the other two in the building. Mine is a one bedroom studio, very small, while the others are 3 and 4 bedrooms and two stories. Because the control for the heat is in the other room, which are much bigger than mine, it is always an inferno. Except when the occupants of the other two apartmets (out of town college students) go home for winter break. Then it is freezing. Shouldn't I have the ability to control the heat for my apartment?

You should but the state laws differ in each state. Check with your local code enforcement department in your city (usually at City Hall) and see what the actual law is.

No law for this. All you can do is talk nicely to the tenant with the thermostat.

You just have to live with what you have. Get a space heater.

No, there is no obligation on the landlord to do anymore than what he has provided you with.
