      Hi,

       

      A tenant in our strata development has requested a quote to replace the existing electricity meter with a smart meter. Needless to say the next step would be to have it installed. The electricity meters are in several meter room on common property, the one in question is in a group of 18 meters.

       

      Can the tenant just go ahead and have it replaced, assuming they accept the quote? I would have thought that approval from the Owners Corporation would have been required before.

       

      I have heard and seen video of these smart meters exploding, Google produces many search results from that search term. I would prefer to avoid the consequence of an exploding smart meter.

       

      Our strata manger when informed replied, that the electricity company owns the meter and if the tenant wants to replace it they can, its their responsibility.

       

      Any comments would be appreciated.

    PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
