Utilities Agreement

Do you include utilities as part of your rent? Then it’s imperative you have an agreement in place to ensure your tenants don’t become energy hogs.

This Utilities Agreement outlines the responsibilities for the tenant to pay a utility payment each month to the landlord, subject to increases. This payment is to accompany the standard monthly rent payment.  In the agreement, the landlord reserves the right to adjust the monthly utility payment with 30 days notice to the tenant.

This agreement comes in two formats: a fillable PDF and an editable MS Word document.

It is important to reference this agreement in section 17 of the BC Residential Tenancy Agreement via an Addendum. The Rental Addendum in our forms section includes a Utilities section where you would reference this agreement.
