Change of Tenancy

Information for moving in or out of a property

Tenants moving in or out of a property need to provide East Gippsland Water with 48 hours (two working days) notice. This gives us time to read the water meter if required, set up new accounts and/or send out final accounts.

Tenancy forms can be completed by the tenant, landlord or real estate agent.

 

Please see the four tenant forms below. The first and second form relate to residential tenants only. The third and fourth form relate to commercial (non-residential) tenants only. 

East Gippsland Water require a meter reading when a tenant moves in or out of a property. The tenant, landlord or real estate agent can provide the meter reading. A photo of the meter reading can be submitted within the forms below. Should East Gippsland Water have to carry out a special meter reading there is a $79.61 charge.

Please Note – once you have submitted the form, if you are not redirected to a ‘Thankyou for submitting’ page or a thankyou message at the bottom of the page, please contact East Gippsland Water to ensure your application has accepted.
