Owner Charging for water supply apart from rent

Hi, I stay with my family in stand alone building and not a society in which there is no water connection from neither corporation not borwell. My rent is 8000 and as per agreement I am liable to pay for Building Maintanance and Electricity bill which I agree but apart from that there is a water supply charges by tanker which is not mention in agreement and taken from us by owner. When i spoke to Builder, he said that water is Owner's responsibility as the water is a basic need in a rented flat. Please advice what legal action can I take as I am not responsible for water supplied by the tankers.

Dear Madam/ Sir,
you should have checked about the facilities and have a relevant clause in the agreement. Normally tenanted houses must be provided with water at the cost of owner. It is a common sense. Just stop payment of rent and let him go to Court for arrears of rent.

If there is no agreement of such water supply charges mentioned in the agreement. You are not liable to pay for the same. But, you need to also look into the fact that such may hamper your water necessity.
