To install an electrical terminal, the steps will differ depending on your situation: 

• 1st case: if you own the property, you must send your property manager a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. Here's an example example. Once your letter has been received by the syndicate, they will have 6 months to respond to your request. Once this period has elapsed, you will be authorized to start the work. To help you budget for the work, we recommend that you ask for estimates in advance. 
• 2nd case: if you are a tenant, you will need to request your landlord's agreement by letter with acknowledgement of receipt. In this letter, you'll need to describe your project in detail, including a diagram. Two copies of this description should be sent to the syndicate. 

After receiving your letter, the owner will have one month to submit your request to the syndic. Once your request has been approved, you can start the work, at your own expense.
