Do you give your tenants access to the breaker panel?

[John S.]

I have a property that about 2-3x/year, the tenants will end up blowing 1 of their breakers because they overloaded an electrical outlet.

The issue is that the circuit breaker panel is located in the garage, which I don't provide the tenants access to (I keep it for storage and cars). Last time we gave a tenant access to the garage to be able to flip their own breakers, we ended up having some equipment go missing, so not looking to give tenants access to the garage anymore.

The electrician I spoke to suggested that we move the breaker panels from the garage to inside each unit, so that the tenant can just flip their breaker back if need be, without ever having to contact me.

I'm not sure if moving the panels to inside the unit is the right move here or if that's overkill.

What's everyones stance on this?
