Do tenants have legal rights to access breaker or fuse panels?

You are entitled to have the power work (provided you pay the bills if your lease requires that). You are not entitled to access the panel. [This communication is intended as general information and not specific legal advice, and this communication does not create an attorney-client relationship.]

I used to own a property with a breaker panel in the basemen. After one or two rides into town at 2 in the morning, I gave the tenant access to the basement.
