I live in a rented flat. 

You may not be able to get one anyway. I live in what used to be a very big old house that's now three two-bedroomed and three one-bedroomed Housing Association flats. One of my neighbours, like myself lives alone and is out at work most of the day, so felt a meter might serve her better - she was told within minutes of calling United Utilities that it's impossible to meter individual homes in large buildings like that. 

Correct, but in that case she should request assessed billing, which is always cheaper than RV billing.
