Do you mean the one where they use lights or fans, ducts, shiny metallic sheets and stuff like that and probably plants? Then no, because he's been there only for 15 months and I have done 2 inspections in the last 6 months with photos . There's smell of cigarettes, that's about it.
Yes rent paid, still has his deposit which will go for repairs...etc and pay him whatever left.
Take it from the deposit first, that will give him a chance to explain.
I told them property empty no one there, they said they will text to book but before the photo was sent.
Could check the current is zero with clamp-on.
From whom? If there are other users on the 100 amp fuse, was the tenant paying for their power? If not, no reason not to take the link out as he left It all seems rather odd.the place would have been without any electricity, which would have resulted in some questions
Yes, I have a clamp on, in fact two,
but it seems unlikely @art1 would have anything like this. And if property empty, what's the rush? The chance of ionisation is low, but when it does happen it can do a lot of damage, so simply not worth the risk.Well, for a start, from the OP/landlord when he was trying to interest a potential new tenant in a property which had no electricity
We've seen no evidence of anything which would enable the tenant to avoid paying for electricity
As above, if the 'link' were there to bypass a blown fuse, then 'a reason' for not removing it would be that so doing would kill the electricity supply to the unit.
You don't think the new tenant would be put off by the link wire?Well, for a start, from the OP/landlord when he was trying to interest a potential new tenant in a property which had no electricity
No, but if there were other users (which I thought, probably wrongly, you were suggesting), he might be paying for them as well.
But if he's just leaving, so what? Maybe better to remove the wire and let the landlord discover the blown fuse, than to leave it there, giving evidence of hanky-panky.
With the cover back on (which I assume is how the old tenant left it) I very much doubt that a prospective new tenant would notice - but they probably would notice the absence of electricity
I certainly wasn't suggesting that, and I'm not sure I understand your point. There is only one meter connected to that fuse, so I doubt that there are 'other users' (other than the tenant of the unit).
Yes, maybe - but there are all sorts of possibilities. Indeed, if it had been there for some time, it's possible that he/she had just forgotten about the link - or, of course, that link may (behind a closed lid) even have pre-dated the recent tennant's tenancy!
