Power can go out from overload, old panel, short circuit, or grid failure. First step: check if it's just your apartment.
Power outage – yours or the building's?
What does the law say?
Electrical panel and infrastructure are part of the property – landlord's responsibility. If caused by tenant's device – tenant's responsibility. Important: never touch the panel yourself – only licensed electricians.
What to do
- Check the circuit breaker panel.
- Try flipping the breaker up.
- If it trips again – there's a fault.
- Check if neighbors also lost power.
- Notify landlord or management company.
- If grid issue – call electric company 103.
Common mistakes
Touching the panel yourself – dangerous. Connecting high-power devices to wrong outlets. Ignoring a repeatedly tripping breaker.
