How can I keep electric utility from installing smart meter at my condo, even though condo complex owns the land? Do I not have any rights?

More details to this question:
I do not want smart meter with wifi installed. When I attempted to opt out at first they said I could until they found out I was in a condo complex and had a bank of meters. Then said I could not. Even though the condo complex owns the common areas, I am the one that pays the maintenance fee and the electric bill every month. Don't I have any rights? Can I get a lawyer to send the utility company and the condo association a letter to demand they halt the installation. Even if it just slows them down?

No you can not stop the electric company for installing a smart meter.

You have whatever rights are afforded you under the various contracts you entered into with the condo, which I doubt include the right to control what type of utility meters are installed.
