Tenant Move In | Westernport Water

Renter – Move In – Online Form

IMPORTANT:

Owners, or their agent, are responsible for registering the details below on behalf of incoming renter(s) at least FIVE business days before the renter moves. Westernport Water will need unrestricted access to the water meter during this time.

If you are a renter you do not have to do anything when moving into a rental property. Your landlord or property manager will let us know you are moving in and give us your details so we can set up your account. However, it is the renter’s responsibility to advise Westernport Water when vacating a rental property.

Renters cannot be registered with accounts that belong to an Owner’s Corporation/Dual Occupancy.

As of 1st November 2023, if a valid meter reading is not provided on the “Renter – Move In” form, a meter reading will be scheduled by Westernport Water and a fee will be incurred & charged to the property owner account. A valid read must be provided within 5 days of move in date & after previous renter vacates. This fee will be revised on an annual basis.

E-NOTICES (paperless billing)

All new Westernport Water accounts for renters will be automatically enrolled for E-Notices (paperless billing), which is our preferred communication method as it has less impact on the environment.

If your client would like to OPT OUT of E-Notices and receive water bills in the mail, please tick this box:

DECLARATION ON BEHALF OF RENTER

As owner/agent of this property, we acknowledge that the renter has been advised that under Section 273 of the Water Act 1989, the renter is liable for the cost of water supplied to the property. The renter also understands that they must provide Westernport Water at least 48 hours notice of occupying or vacating a property. Failure to do so will make the renter liable for the cost of all water to the property until Westernport Water next reads the meter or the end of the billing period in which the vacating occurred – whichever happens first.

I have read and accept the above declaration on behalf of the renter.

Please leave this field empty.
