Water billing for landlords and tenants
In Peel, tenants can receive water, wastewater, and stormwater bills in their own name.
Please note the following:
- A tenant must have their landlord’s permission to use a separate account.
- Property owners (or their Authorized Parties) must complete a form to establish a premise as Tenanted.
- Peel Region will apply a Change of Occupancy Fee each time a new account is requested. This fee will also apply once the property reverts back to the landlord’s name.
- Peel Region will generate and send a bill to the landlord before the tenant moves in.
- A tenant (or tenants) will have a separate account from the landlord. The tenant (or tenants) will use this separate account for as long as they live on the landlord’s premises.
- Property owners are ultimately responsible for overdue amounts at their properties, in accordance with the Municipal Act,2001, S.O.2001,c.25
Instructions for landlords that are switching tenants
