What if my Cardiff landlord refuses permission?
You have three options: (1) offer to leave the charger as a free fixture when you move (most landlords accept since it adds property value), (2) install a portable charger you take with you, or (3) check on-street parking eligibility via cross-pavement gully (Cardiff Council participates in the ORCS scheme).
Are there any extra Cardiff council grants?
