    You cannot force your landlord to do anything in this situation and in most cases if you force them you will not be a tennant ASAP.
    Tennants is a lager, try tenant.

    Or was it because you did not know the difference between Tennants and tenant before reading that post???


    just for clarification, and education, Tennent's is a lager,

    The problem is to get a 2nd meter, they will need a second supply and this can cost thousands to be installed.
    If you don't like the arrangement, which I think you should have been told about before you signed up to flat, I would move.

    If the OP wanted to change to a domestic contract with another supplier, then yes, it could cost thousands. A cheaper alternative would be to pick up a used/refurbished electricity meter from ebay so that an accurate account of usage can be determined. A meter would cost somewhere between £25 & £80, fitting it, £200-300 depending on existing cabling layout.
