Water Bill Payment adjustment doesn't make sense for IP

Ash-Say on 03/08/2020 - 12:36

I have an IP in QLD so I seek water bill from the tenant. It is currently tenanted at $395 per week.

I received the previous rent until 23 July. I received a fortnightly statement today which shows the total payment of $1185(3 weeks rent) which includes a partial water bill payment of $50. The rent is appearing as paid until 13 August and PM is saying this is how the system works and it is correctly reflected.

1 day rent calculate to $56.2 so I am technically $50 short for 13 August. Can someone help me to understand how it works and if I am incorrect?

Thanks

    What did your agent/water corp say when you asked them?

      PM response is already mentioned in my post above.

    I'm not in Qld, but why wouldn't the tenant just pay the water bill direct?

      I believe we can't be charged for the Sewage etc. My water bill came through from the REA for about $60.

      I don't have any direct contact with the tenant. Everything is managed via PM.

    • Share the statement here and we can analyse for you.

    Based on dates, the next time you get income would then be 13 August and further. The last billing date was to a Thursday, now this is 3 weeks rent to a Thursday again. I don’t think you need to be looking at 1 day of rent.
    Water charges to the tenant are water usage and state bulk water Charge only.
