    not familiar with flats

    unless there's a switchroom with a main isolating switch that switches off all flats

    then id say its 4 installations and 4 rods

    4 meters in 4 locations = 4 seperate installations = 4 earth rods

    If all 4 meters were installed in a single cabinet (sharing 1 cut out) then 1 earth rod would be required.
