If a property has an individual meter the landlord may, by agreement, pass on any part or the whole of the charges for the supply and use of water to the tenant (including the supply charge).In recent years we have suggested to our owners that the tenant pays for all water usage charges. Water meter readings are taken at the start and end of the tenancy to ensure that the tenant is only charged for water used during the period of the tenancy. Sewage charges and the River Murray Levy are always the responsibility of the landlord. Landlords who pay the SA Water account themselves are asked to forward copies of both sides of the account to their Property Manager so any additional water charges can be billed to the tenant What are my other responsibilities and obligations as a landlord?
