I’m 99% sure neither the original post or the one you are responding to are talking about crossed wires inside an outlet. They’re talking about an entire outlet/switch/etc. being on the electrical service for a neighboring unit.
So someone is paying for the usage of a neighbor. And if power is shut off for non-payment, they move out, etc. then one of the outlets will seemingly randomly stop working because it’s on a different electrical service.
Yup that’s a service panel serving one or more units in a neighboring unit. Electrical plus ripping up drywall to run a new wire from the correct panel.
Depending on the run this is probably about right.
