I have house panel does not supply any tenant loads just common area and exterior lights, HVAC receptacle. Only problem is house panel is located in one of the tenant spaces in multi occupancy building which has four tenants.

I have seen house panel located in common area but in another tenant space is unusual. I am not sure where in code it says house panel has to be located in common area?

Taint there! :happyno: What you have is a relationship issue between the building owner and the tenant.

The dwelling unit service disconnect and the house panel service disconnect would have to be grouped together, I see no code issue with the common area panel in a tenant space

Here, there has to some king of assurance that the panel is always accessible.

That's the "relationship" thing I mentioned earlier. The building owner has to be able to access the house panel, and the tenant has to allow it. Some arrangement is needed.

What dwelling unit? Multi occupancy building, commercial space with tenants.

Ok, the service disconnects would still have to be grouped

What about 230.40 Exception No.1?

How would that be applicable when the house panel is in the tenant space, that tenants service disconnect and the house panel's service disconnect would need to be grouped together
