Landlords must supply potable water.

As a landlord or rental property manager in Australia, it is important to ensure that your properties that use bore or rainwater comply with the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines. Not only is it a legal requirement, but failure to do so can result in serious consequences such as illness, disease or even death from the water supply. It is crucial to keep in mind that rainwater tanks can become contaminated with faecal matter, which can lead to dysentery or other serious health issues if consumed. Potable water is considered a basic human right and must be supplied to tenants to ensure their safety and well-being. By following the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines and regularly testing and maintaining your rainwater tanks, you can ensure that your rental properties provide safe and clean drinking water for your tenants.
