Hi
we have a multi tenant retain strip. Each tenant has its own meter and service entering at the back of each tenant. There is also a house panel. I realize the NEC restrict feeding some other tenant loads from other panels but is there a restriction that wouldnt all to run a circuit through a tenant fed from teh house panel to the front of canopy area to feed house loads?

No. You can run through another tenant space. Done all of the time in commercial buildings for things like poke-thrus that are run in the ceiling of the tenant space below the deck.

I think that's a little different. Mosts commercial buildings have one service. I explained that each tenant has its own service and fire-rated wall dividing.

What code section would be violated? As EF stated unless these are separate buildings there should not be an issue.
