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
- Identify the landlord/common-equipment approval process.
- Separate tenant-owned devices from building-managed access.
- Keep written approval and agree how user access will transfer when occupancy changes.
Worked example
A business tenant shares the main entrance with other occupiers. This is a hypothetical example, not a completed customer installation.
The useful evidence at the end of this example is: A written authority and ownership schedule for the proposed work.
Limits and follow-up
Agree a service scope in writing. Hardware supply, cabling, networking, monitoring and response attendance may be priced separately.
If the relevant check cannot be completed, record what remains uncertain and who will resolve it before work or sign-off proceeds.
