Yes, if the landlord buys and retires Guarantees of Origin (GOs) for the building's electricity use, tenants can claim the renewable energy benefit for their portion of consumption.
To do this correctly:
The landlord must confirm that the GOs are retired on behalf of the tenants.
You, as the tenant, should receive documentation or a statement showing your share of the renewable energy and the associated GOs.
This allows you to report zero market-based Scope 2 emissions for that electricity use. If there's no proof or GO retirement on your behalf, you can't make the renewable claim.
