Irish Water: Levy ‘pro-activity’ urged

The Irish Property Owners’ Association is urging landlords to contact Irish Water to ensure their tenants have registered for the utility.

If they have not registered, the organisation is recommending “that landlords are pro-active” and furnish Irish Water with the name of the occupier so they can be contacted directly.

If the tenant does not register for the utility, and the landlord does not provide Irish Water with the name of the tenant, landlords could potentially be billed for the water used at the rented accommodation.
