    At 20ppkWh I would not be surprised if the landlord was on a business tariff and not in a supply contract.
  • Yes its a paper voucher

    Why are you having to buy paper vouchers for a private meter?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • Its the first time ive seen them think he bought them from ebay
  • The LL can't charge you VAT unless he is registered for it. If he does, ask for a VAT receipt, which should have his registration no. on it.

    the card meters were the first type to replace the old coin meters, most suppliers have replaced with key meters, though private landlords might still use them.

    How does the landlord get the payment with this type of system?

    My advice to OP, move and find somewhere better to live.
