How to Discourage Electricity Theft by Tenants

One way tenants may steal electricity is by stealing from the building supply. Tenants may tamper with wiring and hook up directly to your building's metered electricity supply. A tenant who does this taps into power that you're paying for. Another way to steal electricity is directly from other tenants. In this case, a tenant may tap into a neighboring tenant's metered electricity supply. While this type of tampering may not happen often at your building, it can cause big problems when it does.
