Tenancy - Water Charges
Landlords are allowed to pass on the full cost of water consumption provided:
• the rental premises are individually metered, and
• the tenancy agreement states the tenant must pay for water consumption.
However, a landlord cannot ask a tenant to pay for charges, levies, rates or taxes, other than a charge payable by the owner or occupier of the premises for electricity, gas or water supplied to the premises.
