Understanding the Dynamics:
Telecom installations rely on a steady power supply, often connected directly to the Regional Electricity Company (REC) or the landlordβs electricity supply with proper authorisation. The lease agreement should explicitly outline the terms, but oversights can occur, leading to unclaimed electricity costs and unauthorised connections.
Key Steps for Landlords
1. Review Lease Agreements:
Thoroughly examine lease agreements, ensuring clarity on terms related to electricity connection and costs.
2. Conduct Regular Audits:
Keep a vigilant eye on electricity consumption through regular audits, identifying any anomalies early on.
3. Seek Professional Advice:
