-- the law is clear that the landlord has the over responsibility of

-- his/her property

Yes, Dave. Two other things are equally clear:

1) You are rabidly anti-landlord to the point that it muddles your ability to think clearly; and

2) All laws aside, common sense says that whoever uses the water should pay for the water.

I agree that it's clear that the law, as written, indicates that the landlord is ultimately responsible for the water bills. With this in mind, any lease I execute in the future will have a clear and separate deposit set aside to take care of any water usage that is unpaid by the tenant.

I will be abiding by the law and the tenants will be paying for the water they consume.

I anxiously await to hear the problem(s) you're going to have with this plan.
