Hi guys,
I kicked a tenant out a while back. This is a retail tenancy.
I've got a new, much better tenant in there now but the place has been empty for just over 6 months.
And they went to put the meter in their name last week with their supplier who is Meridian Energy who say they need a COV:
A COV is a Certificate Of Verification, some more details below for you.
·Relates to the electrical safety of the whole property
·Verifies the safety of all internal wiring
·Completed by an Electrical Inspector
·Commonly issued for properties disconnected for over 6 months
·Required for any changes to mains connection into the property
It was rewired 8 years ago, then the tenant have done their fitout and replaced most of it. So most of the wiring is like 2 weeks old!
Has anyone seen this? Do I have to get this? Seems like just another stupid thing to spend money on.
Any advice appreciated.
