Water Charges

autobiz

With the new water charge imminent am trying to find out who pays the €160 charge for having a second/holiday home, the landlord or tenant?
I am renting and know I have to register and pay the bill when it comes but what about that €80 for water and €80 for waste & sewage for having a second home/holiday home. Does this apply if the property is rented? and who is liable if so?

The occupier is liable, whether that's the owner or tenant.

If the property is not permanently occupied (i.e. a holiday home), then you can apply to have an unoccupied dwelling charge applied, which is a minimum charge.

Why would a tenant of one property be dealing with the charges for a second property?

Cant not see how a tenant is liable for a 2nd home related charge ,

In saying that im sure most will pass it on via a rent increase

if it's rented out permanently its not a holiday home surely?
