The rent includes utilities and we are concerned about the cost of heating this winter. The tenants have verbally agreed to a $75 monthly increase which is above the guideline amount. Can I do this? What forms are required?

租金包括水电费，我们担心今年冬天的取暖费用。房客口头同意每月增加 $75，这个量超出了指导金额。我可以这样做吗？需要发放什么表格？

If the tenants agree to pay an extra charge for utilities that they were not paying for previously, the law states that the rent will then have to be adjusted and reduced to compensate for the removal of services that were previously included in the rent; otherwise it would still be considered an illegal rent increase. There is no particular form to be used in this case, but it is recommended to have a written agreement that you can draft up yourself.

如果租户同意支付以前没支付过的水电费额外费用，则法律规定必须调整并减少租金，以补偿先前已包含在租金中的服务；否则，这笔钱将被视为非法增加租金。在这种情况下，没有什么特别的表格可以使用，但是建议您起草一份书面协议。

The rent includes water which, until this year, was flat rate. The municipality has changed to a metered service which is costly. I’d like the tenants to pay for their own water usage, how can I do this?

租金包括水费，直到今年为止，水费都是固定的。市政当局已更改为昂贵的计量服务。我希望租户付自己使用了的量，我该怎么办？

If you have an agreement where the water or other utilities are included in the rent, then there isn’t a way you can change it at this point. Whether the water is provided to you at a flat rate or on a metered basis, you cannot reduce or remove the service without their permission. If the tenants do agree to take on the responsibility of paying their own water, you would have to reduce the rent to compensate (using the average monthly cost of the reduced service) for the removal of services that was previously included in the rent.

如果您已达成协议，将水费或其他设施费包括在租金中，那么目前您无法做任何更改。无论是按固定价格还是按计量，未经他们的许可，您都不能减少或者断水。如果承租人同意承担自己支付水费的责任，则您将必须减少租金，以补偿以前包含在租金中的服务。

The propane company won’t put the bill under the tenant’s name, so they have agreed to pay me $150 each month. As of right now they have $813.51 outstanding. Am I allowed to serve them an eviction notice for non-payment of rent?

煤气公司不会在账单上标出每个租户使用的量和交的费用，因此租客们同意每月付给我 $150。截至目前，他们的未付余额为 $813.51。我是否可以将不交租金的驱逐通知给他们？

Since this is a charge for utilities, it would not be considered rent and you cannot serve the 14-day notice as you would for unpaid rent. In this case, your recourse would be to serve a N5 notice or file a claim in Small Claims Court since the Landlord and Tenant Board does not deal with unpaid utilities charges.

由于这是水电费，因此不会被视为租金，您也无法将此情况当成欠租金那样，给出让他们提前14天准备搬出的通知。在这种情况下，由于房东和承租人委员不会处理未付的水电费用，您可以向租户们发出N5通知或向Small Claims Court提出索赔。
