You need or agent to do what I suggested in post #7 ASAP and see if that stop them changing meter.

As it August soon, it wouldn't surprise me if utilities supplier have already obtained warrant of entry and are going to fit meter ?

Help - evicted tenant leaves a nasty surprise behind

by nreid

My tenant was evicted back in April of this year after a lengthy period.
Besides this trauma, the problems continue.

My new agent has emptied the letterbox and found a number of concerning items. One is the matter of a court summons for unpaid council tax. I have since taken over...

A very good question. As I don't live in the country, I rely on an agent, which has been a problem all along. I have since appointed a competent one, who immediately showed his competence by looking at the mailbox and letting me know the situation....

by doobrey

I have had prepayment meters before and they were not a massive problem. As long as a future tenant can pass the required credit checks they should be able to get a credit meter installed (if they want one, which seems likely).

When it happened to me, I let the property with a prepayment...

by royw

They can't change the meter unless someone let them on. They can't legally force you or your tenants to pay someone else's debt. Try the energy ombudsman if you get stuck.
I bought a property where the previous occupant had run up a £1.5k debt, prepayment meter already installed, every time I...

Reply to Help - evicted tenant leaves a nasty surprise behind

by nreid

Yes, I have the meter readings via the agent. They were given this information by email but have not responded.
The issue though is the installation of the Pay as you Go meter, which is their way of recouping the debt. My objection is that it is my property and is vacant and this would surely...

If the electricity bill in the tenants name, it is in his name nothing to do with you. However you are responsible for the electricity since eviction - has anybody took the settings?

Reply to Help! Sub tenant with no contract eviction rights

by Yasmenaax

I was just going through the text messages I have with her. They include a lot of information about our agreement including that she would chase a contract from the landlord for me which was said several times, that ‘the place is mine now’, that my cats were allowed (she gave an excuse about them...
