I persuaded the water company to install the meter inside the house - (as I was unsure of the state of the road to house pipework). It made an easier job for the installer, so persuasion was not difficult. Saves any expense for a leak, and provides a a little reassurance for long absences.
OP
If the leak is found to be outside, and the property is oldish, it may be worth asking the landlord and check if it is a lead service pipe. In which case they should replace it. Particularly relevant if young children or pregnancy are involved.
