Landlord wants you to pay water bill after one year of living in the house when verbal agreement was it was included in the rent is that legal?
I only know Massachusetts law on water, which states that a tenant (except in a single family home) can only be charged for water if:
1. The unit has its own meter;
2. The unit has low-flow Plumbing;
3. The local inspector has approved the plumbing; and
4. It's written in the rental agreement.
You should check the laws of your state.

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).
