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?

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.
