      Landlord? Hardly. More like someone forced to leave because of the sh1t certain individuals made of this island.

        Does that make them any less of a landlord?

    You were probably forced to emigrate. They like that you emigrated because it keeps the live register figures down so they look good but you’d better not be having a good time down there Brendan. This letter is to remind you of the misery and hardship you left behind.

        Yes, metered water charges are the norm in OZ. Most of the State Governments have privatised the water and electricity utilities, in the past 10 or so years. Surprise, surprise, bills have risen sharply.
        Expect the same in Ireland.

    Property-owners are responsible for water rates and can choose to either include within the rent or pass on the responsibility directly to the tenant. If the latter the Water board will need to be notified. Maybe they didn’t get the notification (at all / yet / ever) *delete as appropriate.

    Personally I’m happy to see that Irish Water are posting to the owners regardless of their whereabouts and not simply posting to property addresses

      Property owners would probably complain that were living abroad and had no idea that they would have to pay for water, etc.

    You’re the landlord. You live in Australia. Not the tenant’s responsibility to register for water charges. They would not have the necessary details to fill out the form. Perfectly reasonable and proper to send to Australia.

    Nothing to see here, move along.
