Charges, outgoings and prohibited terms – Queensland Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008

Queensland Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008 s166: s 166 and s 166A Water charges only if metered, water efficient, agreed and billed within 4 weeks

A tenant pays water consumption charges only where the premises are individually metered (or water is delivered by vehicle), the agreement says the tenant pays, and the tenant receives a copy of the supplier's bill (sent within 4 weeks of the lessor receiving it). The whole consumption charge is recoverable only while the premises meet the prescribed water efficiency requirements (s 32 of the 2025 Regulation); otherwise only a reasonable quantity. The tenant never pays more than the supplier charged, never pays the fixed water access charge, and pays only the part-period share where s 166A applies.
