Can a landlord say a water pipe broke and leave your water off for more than three days?

yes because the landlord owns the property
Another View: (in the US) the above would be an unacceptable answer. There are Health Department regulations that the landlord must comply with when dealing with tenants and the sanitation and healthy living conditions of their leased premises. Contact your local Health Department and inquire what your rights are in this situation.

What does WSG paid mean about an apartment?
Water, sewer, and garbage are paid by the landlord.
What utilities does the landlord pay?
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 a landlord evict you over a late water bill?
Yes, unless it states in your contract "bills included".
When heat and hot water isn't included in the rent does it mean having a separate water bill?
HEAT and hot water are probably fueled by gas, which probably means this is something your landlord does not provide.
In Texas can a landlord enter the house without permission?
In almost any state a landlord can enter the premises if there is good cause (leaking pipes, electrical problems, etc;) Your landlord should make an effort to contact you first but regardless of your consent, the landlord may go in and inspect if there is a potential hazard to the building or other tenants. It is important to remember that while your landlord owns the property, you, as a renter retain temporal eminence (meaning that you are the temporary owner). However, the landlord has a right to look after his/her long term interests. If the landlord feels that you have violated the terms of the lease, let's say that your contract forbids a water bed in the apartment unit and your neighbor below is complaining of water leaking through the ceiling; the landlord attempts to contact you by phone but you do not answer. In this case the landlord has the obligation to the one tenant complaining of water leaking through the ceiling by entering your apartment to find the cause. Like most legal matters the situation is governed by the "reasonable-ness" of the case. Your landlord cannot enter your apartment to look around, to open your drawers or inspect the quality of your furniture or even to make sure you are in compliance of the terms of the lease, that would be a violation of your right of privacy. It would be reasonable to presume that if your lease stated that you may not have a dog as a pet for any period of time and the landlord hears barking in your apartment, he /she may enter because the barking would make it reasonable to believe that there is a dog in the apartment.
Ex husband is a landlord and told tenants water was okay to drink and the wife died of cancer probably from the water but he will not say anything and there is still a family living there drinking it?
You need evidence for what may be wrong with the water and you need evidence that it was the water that caused the woman's cancer. The first step would be to contact the local Health Dept. and get the water tested. If the Health Dept. finds something wrong with the water, it's their job to notify the landlord and the tenants. They would not leave the landlord to notify the tenants.
What can a landlord do if the tenants abuse free electricity and water?
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.
Is Mild dew wear and tear?
Typically no. If your bathtub overflows because you weren't watching it, then it's damage and you're liable. If a water line broke, then it's the landlord's responsibility. If the river floods, that's on the landlord (must maintain residence in a livable condition). Either way, it's not wear and tear in that mildew is not the common result of normal usage.
Can a landlord turn off the water of a mobile home tenant in Texas for non payment of rent who is handicapped?
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.

It's just my opinion, but until title changes hands, the tenant is still the tenant, and the landlord is responsible for replacing the water heater.
Is a landlord liable for water damage to a tenant due to leaking water tank in the building?

What do children leave out for the three kings?
Children leave out treats such as cookies and milk for the Three Kings on Three Kings Day, which is also known as Epiphany or Dia de los Reyes in some cultures. This is a traditional way to thank the Three Kings for their gifts and blessings.
Can a landlord evict if you do not pay a water bill?
This depends on the type of dwelling and the state that you live in. In most apartment buildings the landlord pays for the water. But not in all. For houses, duplexes, trailers, and other detached property, normally the tenant pays the water.
