My tenant vacated the rental unit without paying their last month’s utility bill, what can I do?

我的租户没有支付上个月的水电费就搬离了出租单位，我该怎么办？

If a tenant has not paid their utility bill and they are no longer in possession of the rental unit, the landlord may file a claim against the former tenants in the Small Claims Court.

如果租户尚未支付水电费账单，并且他们已经搬离了出租单位，则房东可以向Small Claims Court对前租户提出索赔。

My tenant is refusing to pay the hot water portion of the utility bill and has deducted this amount from the rent payment, what should I do?

我的房客拒绝支付水电费中热水部分的费用，并在交上来的租金中扣除了这笔款项，我该怎么办？

If the tenant agreed to pay for hydro, then the tenant is responsible for the entire hydro bill unless otherwise specified in the tenancy agreement. You can give your tenant a N4 Notice for Non-Payment of Rent if he/she has deducted any amount from the rent and the Landlord and Tenant Board can make a decision on the issue.

如果租户同意支付水电费，则除非租房协议中另有规定，否则租户应对整个水电账单负责。如果租户自己从租金中扣除了任何相关金额，则您可以向租户发出N4通知，这样房东租户委员就可以就此问题从中调停。

My tenant is moving out at the end of the month, and I have new tenants coming in. If I put the hydro in my name and then into my new tenant’s name is will cost more. Instead can I put it directly in the new tenants’ names before they move in?

我的租户将在本月底迁出，并且新的租户将会搬进来。如果我把水电费记在我名字下，然后再添加新租户的名字，则将会花费更多钱。我可以在搬入新住户之前直接把水电费记到他们的名字下吗？

We do not generally recommend involving the new tenant at this point, because it is not really their problem. Since the contract with the new tenants begins on January 1st, you can only follow through on your contract if you have clear possession of the unit (for example, if the old tenant returns the keys) so that they can move in on the date agreed to. If you do not have possession and the new tenants do agree to bring the move-in date forward, then you can put the account in their name WITH THEIR CONSENT. Otherwise, I would say that you may have to temporarily be the account holder.

我们通常不建议此时让新租户参与，因为这实际上并不是他们的问题。由于与新租户的合同从1月1日开始生效，因此，只有在您明确拥有该单元的情况下（例如，旧租户归还了钥匙），您才能继续执行合同，以便他们可以在约定的日期入住。如果该单元不归您所有，而新租户也同意将入住日期提前，那么您必须在他们的同意下以他们的名字注册帐户。否则您则会成为该帐户的持有人。
