Premises covered by tenancy agreements signed after 31 January 2011 must now be fitted with water efficiency devices if the landlord wishes to recover water usage costs from the tenant.

The new Residential Tenancies Act 2010 changes the conditions that allow landlords to pass water usage charges onto tenants.

From 31 January 2011, to be able to pass water usage charges onto a tenant, the landlord must ensure the property:

• has a separate water meter
• has water efficient taps and showers (minimum 3-star water efficiency rating)
and
• has no water leaks.

I wonder if it is just a couple of missing decimal points ?
