Why this decision matters
Permission to occupy a property is different from authority to alter shared equipment or transfer its accounts.
Work through the actual task
- Agree who authorises work, owns the service account and responds to events.
- Document the process for code and contact changes between tenancies.
- Keep written approval and agree how user access will transfer when occupancy changes.
Worked example
An owner supplies an alarm but a tenant receives the alerts. This is a hypothetical example, not a completed customer installation.
The useful evidence at the end of this example is: A handover checklist separating owner, occupier and service-provider duties.
Limits and follow-up
A siren, an app alert and professional monitoring are separate features. Confirm who receives a signal and what they are expected to do.
If the relevant check cannot be completed, record what remains uncertain and who will resolve it before work or sign-off proceeds.
