Well if a landlord can't turn off the water he must also be handicapped. There are no winners in this situation!
Answer#2: I'm no lawyer and I know California law better than Texas law but here's my thinking. There is a broad principle in landlord-tenant law that says the landlord cannot take eviction steps (like this) without approval from the courts. So the tenant could probably go to court and force the landlord to go through all the pain of the eviction process. Or they could pay the rent or leave.
The first answerer was right, there can be no winner at this point. No tenant has the right to stay when they cannot pay and the landlord must follow the law.

Does the landlord tenant act apply to all landlords and renters?
It depends on your state's particular landlord-tenant act. Some states have different landlord-tenant acts for mobile home parks, for example. The below link shows a list of all 50 states' landlord-tenant acts. The applicability of the act is usually found at or near the beginning of the act.
What can can be done if a tenant doesn't pay his rent and it turns out that the tenant is an illegal alien?
The landlord should serve a notice to quit for non-payment of rent. The fact that the tenant is an alien has nothing to do with the landlord. The landlord who brings it up in court is a fool - the obvious question is, why did the landlord not act on that information before? Waiting to use that information in court is completely disingenous.

Can a landlord enter your home for non payment of rent in Missouri?
I'm not familiar with laws specific to Missouri, but the general answer is yes, there are many circumstances under which the landlord may enter the property. If the tenant is not paying rent, the landlord will start the eviction process and has the right to show the property to the next tenant. The landlord is still bound by all the pre-existing restrictions after the tenant is late in payment, he/she is not free to come during the middle of the night or some other combative action.

Can a tenant sue a sub tenant?
Yes. The tenant should be considered the landlord of the sub-tenant. Therefore, he can evict, just like any landlord.
Can a landlord evict someone living on their property when they haven't signed a lease?
I am presuming we have three components here: a landlord, a tenant, and a subtenant. The landlord in this case is presumably renting to a tenant, while the tenant is presumably renting to a subtenant. I presume that tenant has a lease while the subtenant doesn't. The tenant becomes the landlord for the subtenant. Since there is no lease (in most states subletting does not involve a lease) in this case, the tenant who is the subtenant landlord can evict the subtenant. While the main landlord can evict the tenant -which automatically evicts the subtenant -only the tenant can evict the subtenant. But the main landlord can evict all by evicting the tenant.
What is opposition between a tenant and landlord?
