<p>If landlords have a domestic electricity meter point, they will receive £400 through
the Energy Bills Support Scheme. The Government encourages landlords to pass the payment
to tenants to ensure it is reflected in tenants’ inclusive charges or separate bill
payments. If landlords have a commercial meter, they will not receive the £400 payment.</p><p>

there are rules which can protect tenants and ensure they are being charged no more
than they should be when they buy the electricity through their landlord.</p><p> </p><p>The
Government is working with key stakeholder groups in the private rented sector to
help communicate this information.</p>
