No it's illegal in any state it's called self help, if the Landlord has shut off the electricity go right down to your local court house and file a complaint in landlord/tenant court for a self help eviction, not only can you get the electricity back on you can maybe get a free month's rent plus the LL can be fined

just pay yer bills and dont worry about it.


mpoehling_1999
yes, if it is included in the rent
.....


realestatelawyer
In the US it is illegal for a landlord to shut off any of your utilities for any reason. The landlord cannot have utilities shut off unless the tenant has moved out. It doesn't matter if the utilities are in the landlord's name, or paid with the rent, or any other situation.

The utility company can shut off the utility for non-payment of the utility bills but the landlord has nothing to do with this.

If the landlord has had your utilities shut off while you are still living there then you should call the police immediately.

Contact your local Housing Authority office, as well as your local city or town clerk's office to obtain a copy of your area's renter's right's and responsibilties guide.


ff9_terra
of course not.

If your electricity is tied into your rent, then maybe. However, they can start eviction proceedings against for late rent.


Blue Jean
Not in Canada, the only ones who can legally shut off your electricity for non-payment of bills is the electric company.

If the utilities are in their name and they pay them, they sure can. They own the property. If you aren't holding up your end of the contract, they can do anything they want. It's a great way to make people to pay rent.

of course


juan2thymeeup@sbcglobal.net
No, no, and hell no. They would need a court order and in that case they would have just gotten an eviction notice.
At least from what I know, I'm not a lawyer, but it creates an unliveable situation and it's a safety issue...

well, yes.......

Absolutely not in Iowa. The landlord could be held liable for damages if he did. He can only start the eviction process. However if you're paying the electric bill directly, the utility can shut if off for non payment.

YES he is the owner and when he/she dosn't get money on time your utilities are cut off.


Randomized
yea, depends on how late...two days: reasonable...3days on: usual...1day: he's being tough...a few hours:wow

No. Only the electric company can shut your electric off, unless your landlord actually pays the electric from your rent. If the electric is in your name, and you pay the electric bill, he cannot shut it off.


smalltownangel
Absolutely not. Its illegal. The landlord would have to serve you papers for eviction or something like that. Landlords can never shut off utilities!


urbanbulldogge
No, in most places that is against the law.


regionalARM
ABSOLUTELY NOT! Doesn't matter the state, lease terms, nada...If your LL uses "self help" actions such as turning off ANY utilities, changes the locks or uses ANY other illegal means to threaten or boot you out...he/she is screwed. LL MUST file for possession through the appropriate court within the appropriate jurisdiction. NO IFS, ANDS or BUTS!


jjjnnn
@MAX, You're a fucking idiot, a landlord can't do as he pleases because it is "his" property, regardless of a contract. Heat, water, and electricity are considered vital services, and CANNOT be shut off by the landlord for any reason, including nonpayment of rent. (in Canada anyway) However, if you pay your utility provider directly, THEY DO have the right to cut off your service for nonpayment of the bill... Max, how'd you like to have your power shut off in the middle of winter, with children living there as well, just because you say, lost your job and are 2 weeks late on the rent? Do you think this would be an incentive for the tenant to magically create money they may not have? Get a clue...
