I can't seem to find any definitive info regarding how apartments will be charged for water usage other than a general opinion that they will not be individually metered and thus not individually charged.
I'm not even sure whether the owner or the tenant will be legally liable to pay water charges.I'm assuming the tenant/occupier, but as logic fails the authorities in these cases (as per the property charge) I'm uncertain.
If anyone has any concrete information I'd be most grateful. I've already advised tenants that there'll be a slight increase in rent based on a combination of my greed and the property charge (which may or may not be tax deductible ).
I think it behoves all LLs to make sure tenants understand that they will also be paying an extra €200/300 ?? P.A.per apt from January 2014.
Or will it be 2015?
Any facts or thoughts welcome.
