Central heating conversion

Hi,

I'm looking into a rental (13 units) where heating is paid for by the owner (central heating furnace). Tenants pay for their own electricity otherwise. I'm looking for tips on how to make it so each tenant would pay for their own heating. Anyone from Montreal / Quebec has experience doing this?

    Salut Philippe,

    2 possibilités:

    • Prends ta facture de chauffage et divise la par le nombre d'unités (fait un pro rata par pieds carrés). Tu recharge ainsi ta facture aux locataires. Ça devra être spécifié dans tes baux.
    • Changer le mode de chauffage pour le mettre à l'électricité. Plus couteux, mais aussi plus "juste" pour les locataires qui paient ainsi leur juste part. Même chose... tu devras faire le changement dans tes baux.

    Peu importe la manière choisie, ça va chialer... mais c'est très payant de le faire.
