    Thank you Moffat, after several emails send between all parties, it looks like the Landlord wants to evict us, or give us notice - even though our rent is paid up to date and on time every month, This is in lieu of the fact that we are probably the first tenant to questions this shady practice and made it clear that we are not prepared to provide free electricity to another tenant that is paying rent to the landlord. 
    Looks like we in for a battle and attorneys will be involved. 
    Thank you for your input.
     
    Regards and Merry Christmas!

    Ripley1313 got a reaction from HendrikBigChief in Is this electrical installation compliant?   
    Good day,
     
    Thank you all for your responses. Ok, so to clarify here are the following facts:
    We were never told of the electrical setup when we viewed the property. After the deposit was paid and lease signed, we were then told on the day we collected the keys. Kinda eleventh hour if you ask me. Agreed that I can into trouble for installing loggers for the house and the flat. Have spoken to the Dept of Labor and two electrical companies and they all said the same - this is not an alteration to the DB board. I did however, remove the loggers this morning, as we are now faced with getting an attorney. This "special" way of electricity provision is not stated anywhere in our lease agreement. The Mains of the flat is on my DB board in the house and according to the Electrical Competency Board this means that the tenant of the flat MUST have full access to my DB board at all times, in the event of an emergency. What if my wife and I are away on vacation? Leave my house keys with the other tenant? I think not!! I really appreciate all your input and am still stuck with a dispute with the landlord, as the report he is getting from the City meter in the flat show a total different unit consumption that what the data loggers show that are connected at the Main Breaker. There is about 10m travel from the Main Breaker to the Earth Leakage on the DB board in the flat and this is connected with a 2,5mm twin and earth wire.
    Seems that we will have to get a lawyer today. Couple of thousand rand gone - a few days before Christmas!
    Regards everyone!

    This is my installation at my house that does the trick. My requirements.... Or rather the wife, was lights, TV in bedroom and lounge, wifi, the induction plate, (used sparingly during LS) and the blinds or screens that can be dropped when the sun hits.

    So best option would be to go through all the neutrals and see which one crosses?
