We have an IP in Brisbane with 3.5kW of solar and about to put in the market for rent.
Just want to gauge what people usually do. From what I gather, would be one of the following:
1) You keep electricity in your name, Tenant pays actual consumption less credits.
2) You keep electricity in your name, Tenant pays actual consumption with no credit.
3) You keep electricity in your name, include electricity in the rent amount
4) You disconnects electricity and Tenant has account in their own name
Hope you can share your experience. Many thanks in advance!
I would say that it depends on what Feed-In tarrif the system is qualified for.
If it's on a high Feed-In tarrif and you'll lose it by disconnecting/changing account, then I'd look at Option 1/2
Option 3 sounds very risky.. including electricity in the rental is go9ing to encourage the tenant to abuse their electricity..
eg leaving the A/C on permanently.
