I have rented a unit with one dual socket electrical outlet directly attached to a fuse box. I want to add 5 to 6 more dual socket electrical outlets onto the same circuit. what do I need to consider and what would be the best way of doing this?

I had thought about daisy chaining them but was unsure about the safety of this?

Thanks
 
What sort of things are you wanting to plug in?
A single socket may just be a 16A circuit, and may not be able to handle anything too heavy.

I take it this is a commercial unit? I don’t think the landlord would be able to have them put in for you
