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.

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).

If that tenant has violated the lease or failed to pay rent, yes, the landlord may evict them.

What is the legal remedy to remove some people from your home that refuse to contribute to household expenses and refuse to leave even after you gave them a 3 day notice to pay or vacate?
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.
