That all depends on the landlord, and the local laws. Sometimes some utilities are included in the rent, sometimes they are not. For example, some places have laws that require landlords to provide water.

Can Landlords pass capital expenses of the property on to tenants?
This all depends on the terms of the lease. But generally, the amount of rent is a fixed monthly amount, which may or may not include some or all of the utilities. Anything separate that the landlord charges you, unless stated on the lease, is not part of the rent, and therefore cannot be enforced as such. For example, if your rent does not include utilities and the landlord pays utilities for you but gives you the bill for it, the utilities are a separate amount that is charged by the landlord. As such, your landlord would not be allowed to evict you if you do not pay utilities. This would be true of any other charges the landlord may impose upon you, unless it is part of the rent. For example, late fees can be added onto the rent and become part of the rent as due and payable at the time you pay your rent. Again, this must be stated in your lease in order for it to be enforceable.
Can a landlord check on your utilities history?
Yes a landlord can check on your utilities history considering they are the ones that actually own the house no you.
Can a commercial landlord turn off electricity that he is supplying to a tenant if the tenant has not paid utilities?
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.
What rental information can a landlord check?
Generally, a landlord can check your credit file to look for evictions, which are recorded and reported to credit agencies. They also looked for people who don't pay their utilities.
Can you sue your landlord for high utilities due to lack of insulation?
Refer back to the original contract you made with your Landlord/lady and work through the utilities section...
Can a renter turn off power before legal process of eviction has began there is verbal agreement on terms of rent?
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).
