Generally speaking, no. If the rent includes electricity than the tenant has the right to use that electricity as part of his rent. Landlord may not turn off electricity to force the tenant to pay his rent. However, with proper notice, the landlord can have an electric meter installed on the rental property for that tenant to be responsible for his own electric, if building codes permit.

How do you give 30 day notice for buy or going up for sale?

Not sure why this would be a landlord/tenant issue, since the landlord can sell to anyone he or she wants and the tenant simply continues paying rent, but to a different landlord. The only "notice" required would be when the new landlord wants the rent sent to a different place or wants to change the terms of the tenancy (usually with 30 days prior notice, unless otherwise specified in a lease).

A landlord can enter an apartment without notice only in an emergency situation. Otherwise, they must provide reasonable notice that they need to enter your apartment to make repairs. The time may vary in different jurisdictions but is generally 24-48 hours. You should contact your local landlord-tenant agency for more information. In some areas the landlord can enter the dwelling to check the conditions if the tenant is away for an extended period and no one else is present in the dwelling.


Can a landlord lock you out of your apartment before 30day notice?

If your tenancy is an assured shorthold tenancy the landlord can not lock you out of the property until the courts appoint a bailiff to evict you. Prior to this you would normally receive 2 months written notice (section 21) and you would have been asked to attend a court hearing in order to vacate the premises (after the expiry of the section 21 notice).

I was subletting a house and the renter left leaving furniture what can i do with it?

you must have the landlord amend or start a new contract with you on the (a) rental agreement with you as the remaining and continuing tenants. Then you need to have the landlord remove the abandoned property left by prior tenants and store it for a minimum of 30 days. Once this is done the landlord must give prior tenants legal notice of how and when to obtain there belongings.It must state the date it is to be picked up by with the deadline ending at midnight on the 30th day after posted or mailed date of notice. If the tentants do not show up to claim property or have not made arrainngments to retrieve the belongings the landlord can dispose of the property any way they see fit.
