Due to skyrocketing hydro and fuel prices I can no longer afford to pay utilities and the mortgage on my rental property, what can I do?

由于水电和燃料价格飞涨，我再也无法负担房租和租赁物业的抵押，我该怎么办？

If you have an agreement where the utilities are included in the rent, there isn’t a way you can change it unless the tenants agree. However, even if they do agree to start paying for the utilities now you would then have to reduce the rent to compensate for the removal of services that were previously included in the rent. The only other option you have is to increase their rent if they have already been there for twelve months, the rent increase guideline for 2017 is 1.5% and you would give them 90 days’ notice using the prescribed form which is Form N1.

如果您达成协议，即将水电和燃料等包括在房租中，那么除非租客同意，否则您无法更改。但是，即使他们现在同意开始支付公用事业费用，您也必须减少租金，以补偿以前包含在租金中的服务的取消。您唯一的其他选择是增加租金，如果他们已经在那里住了12个月，2017年的租金增长准则为1.5％，您可以使用规定的表格N1提前给他们90天的涨租通知。

Can I charge extra for air conditioners if I am paying utilities? Do I have to give them a written notice?

如果我要支付水电费，我可以向空调额外收费吗？ 我需要给租户们书面通知吗？

A landlord cannot charge extra when a tenant acquires an air conditioner unless it has been clearly specified in a written tenancy agreement that the tenant will pay extra if they chose to have an air conditioner.

除非租客在书面协议上明确表示租户选择交空调费，否则房东在租户购买空调时不能收取额外费用。

Am I responsible if the tenant fails to pay for heat if this is done directly with the provider?

房客支付不了暖气费用，并且是因为提供商的原因，我应该负责吗？

If the utility accounts are in the tenant’s name and they default the landlord will not be held responsible. The utility companies have to collect from the person who is on the account.

如果其账户是租户的名字，那么在默认情况下，房东将不承担责任。 其公司必须向帐户上的人收取费用。
