So I rented this house, the owner lied that he was processing a prepaid meter, I spent three years paying estimated bills 10k per month, so when the NEPA people saw the outstanding bills in our community is too much , they brought free prepaid meter that they will attach to pole for everyone, and before you can recharge the Meter, you will have to pay all your outstanding bills or help you factorize half of the money so you can pay little by little every month.. So I finished paying almost 100k of outstanding bills.. Months later I want to move to another place.. My question is can I remove the meter when I'm living to continue using it in my new place, as the meter wasnt procured by the landlord and he was the reason I had to pay such huge money because he didn't provided prepaid meter as promised on time

Visit the customer care of the electricity distributor company in your area... your meter can be re-routed to the zone you are moving to.

I'd like to know too

What I'm asking is, can I claim the meter to be mine? And go with it when I'm leaving? Or does it belong to the house and the landlord

The meter is the property of the electricity company (government).

Visit their office. They can reroute it for you, but it’s certainly not your property.

Bros am afraid that meter is for that particular property since you didn't purchase it with your money using any of those advance payment schemes in purchasing a prepaid meter. Move out and forget the meter and do try and ensure there is a meter in your next apartment else you will keep Paying more for electricity
