I am renting out my house and I need to know what to charge the new tenants for Hydro/Gas. There are currently 3 adults in the house and it will be changing to 5-8, including children. I'm keeping the bill in my name and was going to charge based on my Equal Payment Plan of $87/m hydro and $117/m gas.

It's obviously going to cost more with more people so how do I estimate the usage/cost increase? I don't want to be a jerk and overcharge but I don't want to be undercharging and paying for the increase next year when my usage is reviewed.

(The bill has to stay in my name because there is an unmetered suite)
