| Comment | Is this an ancient-looking meter or something new?
If it's old (like decades old) then it should have been replaced by the electricity company some years ago with a card meter. The fact it hasn't done so is a red flag that the electrics are way out of date and the landlord doesn't care about their legal responsibilities for your safety.
If it's a new-looking device, then your landlord is taking the money in order to resell
electricity to you at a profit, and this is a red flag because it means they're a profiteering cunt. At the very very least, don't sign up without a very clear understanding of what they're going to be charging you for the electricity. |
