What expenses can a landlord recover from a tenant?

The landlord may recover from the tenant various types of expenses related to the tenant’s occupancy of the dwelling. These are primarily costs associated with services from which the tenant directly benefits.

These recoverable expenses include costs associated with essential services such as water, the elevator, and central heating. Expenses for maintenance and minor repairs to common areas are also included, provided they do not result from construction defects or structural flaws in the building.

The tenant must also contribute to communal services such as household waste collection and sanitation. Specifically, these charges include the maintenance of elevators and freight elevators, the supply of hot and cold water, central heating for private and common areas, as well as the maintenance of interior common areas and green spaces. The salaries of the building staff or the superintendent (in part) are also included in these recoverable charges.
