Just talking to a friend of my wife and she rents a renovated queenslander.
She tells me that the landlord charges her water rates ? Each quarter.
Are many people doing this ?
I thinks it's 50% of the actual rates charged by council?
Any comments ?
Is this a new thing ?

.......we (the owners) need to pay for water..... I am also told it's not tax deductable, which doesn't make sense to me as rates are......Please someone enlighten me, if this is correct.
Well Lil Skater I am very surprised then that my VIC RE has told me we must pay the whole bill. I'm going to be ringing in the morning to see what they say and if they tell me again I need to be paying for it, then I'll be looking up the correct info hopefully to prove them wrong. If they manage hundreds of properties how do they get this so wrong.
Some agents are lazy but if you have read your management agreement, the clause will state the agent charges their fee on all income collected, this includes water usage. They are getting their %, if only they claimed it.
I'd like to know this also and have been meaning to find out.
The RE have told me (on Qld and VIC properties) that we (the owners) need to pay for water, just as we do rates. I am also told it's not tax deductable, which doesn't make sense to me as rates are. However if it's excessive I have forwarded the bill to the RE and they have charged the tenants the excess amount.
Please someone enlighten me, if this is correct.
