      After recently signing a tenancy agreement the Real Estate agent then casually let me know that I would need to pay a $50.00 deposit to the building manager for the hot water to be turned on

      On discussing this with the building manager its turns out that each tenant in the building actually pays there own hot water that is billed separately to each tenant. Quote: “The hot water is heated in the building” 

      The agent said they did not know about this charge but they would get me an expalantion (I’m still waiting for that) . Having looked at the NSW Tenants site it only refers to water that is seperatel metered not “hot”water that is heated.

      I’m still of course paying a separate electricity bill which I’m assuming excludes “hot water”

      Should I been told about this earlier and should it be annexed on the tenancy agreement?

    PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
