1. If you pay for the gas or electricity in your rented property, you can choose to have a smart meter. 2. Tell your landlord before you get one. That’s because there may be rules in your tenancy agreement about how energy is supplied to the property, including the type of meter that can be installed. 3. If your landlord pays the energy bills, the decision to get a smart meter is up to them. 4. If your tenancy agreement says you need your landlord’s permission to alter metering at your property, they should not unreasonably prevent it.
To register interest in getting a smart meter, simply enter your energy supplier name to be connected to their site. Start with your electricity supplier as you will need a smart electricity meter first.
