I have an interesting quandry for you all:
We have a property in Adelaide which is a dual occupancy (5 bedroom townhouse split into a 2BR and a 3BR unit).
For shared services such as gas, we pay the bill ourselves and then split the costs between the tenants.
Now one of our tenants has got a concession card, and apparently can get discounts on things like gas bills.
My property manager is making enquiries of the gas company to see if they can come to some arrangement over the discount.
Does anyone know about the rights of the tenant in these situations ? The suggestion was that we might be required to pass on a discount to the tenant regardless of whether we get a discount ourselves from the gas company.
Then again, this may still be cheaper than paying for separate gas meters to be installed !
Anyone have any experience in this area ?
