Div 10Statutory and other charges in respect of rented property

Division 10—Statutory and other charges in respect of rented property 43—Statutory and other charges in respect of rented property (1) Without limiting the effect of section 18, it is a term of a residential park agreement that the park owner must bear all statutory charges imposed in respect of the rented property. (2) However, the park owner may, by a term of the residential park agreement— (a) if water consumption at the rented property is separately metered, require the resident to pay charges payable under the Waterworks Act 1932 based on the level of the water consumption at the rented property; and (c) subject to the Gas Act 1997, if gas consumption at the rented property is separately metered, require the resident to pay charges based on the level of the gas consumption at the rented property; and (d) if bottled gas is supplied at the rented property, require the resident to pay charges based on the level of the bottled gas consumption at the rented property; and (e) require the resident to make any other payments of a kind prescribed by the regulations. (3) The regulations may provide that a resident need not make a payment of a kind referred to in subsection (2) unless the park owner provides to the resident, at the request of the resident, specified information (which may include accounts and receipts, or copies of accounts and receipts) relevant to the payment or the goods or services in respect of which the payment is sought. (4) A resident is not required to pay the park owner any amount for, or in relation to, the supply of electricity to the rented property unless the park owner has provided the resident (at no cost) with an account specifying how much the resident is being charged for the supply of electricity (and how that amount was calculated) and, if the resident is being charged for any other related matters, itemising those matters and specifying the amount of the charge in relation to each item.
