Legal advice and solar water heaters

[Sanctuary]

Hi guys, im hoping someone here can help me out with a question i have. I have a friend that wants to jointly invest in a solar water heater with his land lord (50-50) but he will only do this if the land lord allows him to rent the place for 3 years. I have studied some law and i know he can draw up a contract stating just that and if it is broken then the land lord is liable to pay back the investment my friend has made so far.

My question is:

The law in WA is that a rental contract can be reviewed every 6 months, so on this basis is the method i said above valid at all? And is there a way to do this as part of a rental contract?

As a side question, has anyone installed a solar water heater, and what kind of savings are you getting from it?

Thanks in advance :D

I have just installed a solar hart hot water system. I paid for the cost of the system upfront then was reimbursed $1600 from the state government then from NSW am waiting for the cheque of $800? total cost of 2400. so check and see what rebates your local/state government has. .. the system works great. I also have solar power installed.

Here is some info on rebates http://www.hotwaterrebate.com.au/index.php...v-state-rebates

I would also contact the tenancy board in your state and ask them about the lease etc.

Thanks for your reply mate, which type of water heater did you get installed? And how much are you saving on your bills if you dont mind me asking.
