Can a Landlord turn off power before evicting a tenant? Absolutely NOT!! And any verbal agreement cannot contain unconscionable statements such as that the tenant would agree to allow Landlord to turn off utilities for non-payment of rent, even if the utilities are in the Landlord's name and you pay separately for that. If you're asking if a Renter can turn off his power, sure! At any time if the power is in the Renter's name (the Renter means the Tenant, not the Landlord).
Not unless the landlord has followed your state's laws regarding disconnection of utilities for nonpayment. Any landlord who disconnects the tenant's utilities (except temporarily for maintenance purposes) without following these laws will be guilty of constructive eviction. A constructively evicted tenant can sue the landlord for moving expenses and damages.
Not in most states.
No you can not go and cut off the utilities..it is illegal. The only way to get the deadbeat is by evicting him.
Yes, a landlord can turn off your AC if you do not pay fines and taxes.
Contact your local housing authority.... a landlord can not evict you without a court order... and shutting off the utilities is illegal..
If the rent includes electricity and water, then there's not much the landlord can do. If the landlord feels he is paying too much for electricity and water, he can opt for a water meter and electric meter to be installed on the property, to enable the tenant to be responsible for his own electric and water. It should be noted, however, that landlord may not turn off any utilities because the tenant failed to pay the rent.
Utilities can not be shut off in Wisconsin from November 1 to April 15. Utilities can not be shut off in Wisconsin from November 1 to April 15.
Only the landlord can take a name off a lease. Until then the signing parties are bound by the contract.
Failure to contribute to household expenses may or may not be grounds for eviction. This depends on the term of the lease. Not contributing to household expenses is the same as not paying utilities in most household situations. A landlord may not evict a tenant for not paying his utilities, just like the landlord cannot turn off utilities to force the tenant to pay his rent. Therefore, if the tenant has paid his rent on time then the landlord has no grounds for eviction. However, after proper notice, the landlord has the right to evict the tenant. Now, if you are renting a room to the tenant, then you're charging him with room and board, not rent. If that's the case, you have to spell out the terms of that agreement, any violation of which will allow you to evict him. In that case, you still have to undergo the same eviction proceedings any landlord would go through in a regular landlord/tenant relationship.

THEY USUALLY CUT-OFF THE UTILITIES> You can get sued for doing so. Meanwhile, all the consequences of your actions are written on the agreement.
