Shouldn’t Do This, but…


Hi All,

I just finished moving into my new apartment. The landlord is a little touchy about certain things. For example, he was opposed to my wanting to store boxes in the basement, of all things. Today I spent the day unboxing stereo equipment. Anyhow, I have a Cruz First Maestro receptacle and I want to switch that out with the original  but I don’t have access to the fuse box in the basement. I’ve switched out receptacles with the electric on before but I hate doing it. Any advice or words of encouragement?

Thanks!

Having access to the panel, and changing electrical devices as you see fit are two different things.You have zero rights to do the latter. Contacting the electrical inspector to assert your imaginary right to do electric work in an apartment building with other tenants won't go well for you.
