Generally, a landlord cannot cut off utilities to a rental property, even if the services are in their name, as this can be considered a form of harassment or illegal eviction. Tenants have a right to essential services like water, heat, and electricity. However, laws can vary by jurisdiction, so it's important to consult local regulations for specific rights and obligations. If a landlord does cut off utilities, tenants may have legal recourse to restore services and seek damages.
