I think landlords were/are able to re-sell electricity through what was basically a second meter in series with the building supply meter - but whether or not there was a limit to their markup I just don’t know.Wasn't setting coin-operated meters wrong so that they overcharged you once a common trick that landlords etc. would use to get more money from tenants? Not sure if I've misremembered, and I'm also not sure if that practice ever became illegal? Obviously not so important for many people now that prepayment meters have become relatively rare.
