Utility Shutoff and Your Rights
If your gas, electricity, or water service is shut off, or if you are being threatened with a shutoff, you should call the utility company immediately to find out the reason for the shutoff. The utility company cannot shut off service and charge you for bills owed by your landlord or for bills owed by tenants who used to live at your address. The utility company cannot shut off service because you are behind in your rent, even though your Landlord may want the utility company to do so.
