Re: rights of tenant
landlord will be responsible.
however for safety you send a registered letter to the landlord for request for commercial connection.
Re: rights of tenant
Naturally being the consumer/user,you and lanlord both shall be held responsible.Elecrtricity Deptt.shall impose misuse charges.You sent a written request to the landlord for permission for commercial connection so that in future you can take the plea of non permission on part of landlord which shall also prove your bonafide.
Re: rights of tenant
That the L.Lord can not charge you on commercial rates. Since meter is in his name, he will be responsible for misuse.
Re: rights of tenant
no owner will allow the tenant to hold the electric connection in his name!
you get a commercial electrical connection in the name of the owner!
the cost and expenses.. who will bare? .. a billion dollar question?
then all other taxes and charges will apply ... probably the owner is evading for that reason
