I'm following up on a conversation heard between Jimmy T and James Valentine on ABC radio yesterday afternoon regarding “who pays the water rates – tenant or owner?”.

As a long term landlord this is my experience.

The landlord is responsible for the water rates.

A tenant can be charged for the water usage component only if the unit has individual water metering and the requirement to pay for the water usage is included in the lease.

Hope this helps.
