The tenant is responsible for outgoings that are exclusively attributable to that tenant. This includes electricity, gas, phone and metered water.
A metered water supply is how a supplier of water can issue a charge on the basis of someone’s consumption. Water suppliers sometimes change the way they charge for water and waste water.
Regardless of when the tenancy started, changes to the way a supplier bills or charges may have an effect on who is responsible for paying for water or wastewater charges. This may depend on how the billing has changed, and what is now directly related to the tenant’s occupation of the premises.
Both the landlord and tenant should discuss the billing changes to determine any new payment responsibilities (i.e. who is responsible for payment – tenant or landlord?) resulting from the suppliers change of billing.
There are several different ways that water suppliers charge for waste water around the country.
Where the water supply is from a tank, the landlord should provide a full tank at the start of a tenancy. The tenancy agreement should record that the tenant will arrange and pay for any tank refills required as a result of their water use.
Water tanks should be an appropriate size. For example, an average-sized house should have a tank of about 5000 gallons (22,500 litres). The tank needs to be properly connected by a guttering system to a roof of reasonable size so the tank will be topped up from time to time by rainwater. There should be no leaks or contamination.
The pump is an essential part of a tank water system. Provided the pump is subjected only to normal wear and tear, its maintenance is the responsibility of the landlord. If tenants cause damage to the pump, for example by letting the pump run when the tank is empty, they may be held responsible for this. It would be a useful precaution for the landlord to provide written instructions and explain how the water system works.
