Can a renter turn off power before legal process of eviction has began there is verbal agreement on terms of rent?

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).


Is it illegal for a landlord to turn off electricity in an apartment with an underage child?

Except for maintenance purposes (which the landlord should notify you of ahead of time), the only one who can turn off the electricity is the power company. If the landlord refuses to turn the electricity back on, you have been constructively evicted. See the Related Questions below for information on how to proceed.

Can a landlord evict tenant with babies?

If that tenant has violated the lease or failed to pay rent, yes, the landlord may evict them. The law doesn't look at having children during the eviction proceedings unless the case involves eviction based on discrimination of familial status.It's not discrimination for a person to fail to pay rent and subsequently be evicted for it.


What is the legal remedy to remove some people from your home that refuse to contribute to household expenses and refuse to leave even after you gave them a 3 day notice to pay or vacate?

Failure to contribute to household expenses may or may not be grounds for eviction. This depends on the term of the lease. Not contributing to household expenses is the same as not paying utilities in most household situations. A landlord may not evict a tenant for not paying his utilities, just like the landlord cannot turn off utilities to force the tenant to pay his rent. Therefore, if the tenant has paid his rent on time then the landlord has no grounds for eviction. However, after proper notice, the landlord has the right to evict the tenant. Now, if you are renting a room to the tenant, then you're charging him with room and board, not rent. If that's the case, you have to spell out the terms of that agreement, any violation of which will allow you to evict him. In that case, you still have to undergo the same eviction proceedings any landlord would go through in a regular landlord/tenant relationship.
