Hi guys, I'm a new home owner. I have a high rise unit that I want to rent out. Currently the tariff for the water bill is by JMB with a minimum of RM36 per month. When I rent out the whole unit, who is supposed to pay for the RM36?

As the owner, I understand that I'll need to pay for the maintenance fees/sinking fund/etc

But electricity and water is borne by the tenant right? Or am I mistaken?

Also is the water bill included in the rental? like for example you are renting for RM1200; so with the water bill its RM1236?

Much help is appreciated. Thank you

Standard tenancy agreement will state that the tenant need to pay for electricity, water, indah water etc.

So IMHO, there is no need to include water bill in the rental. If the water bill is more than rm36, e.g. rm50, u will need to pay rm36 and the tenant pay rm14 to JMB? Isn't that troublesome?

Just check the monthly statement account from JMB to make sure tenant pay the water bill is enough lah.
