Threat of Utility Disconnection

[sonofamoo]

NOBODY answered his damn question:

Manix:

Who do you pay the electric to? The Landlord or the Electric company?

The Landlord cannot cut off your utilities no matter how much you owe, that is illegal in all 50 states. The landlords remedy is to evcit you once and for all with a marshall standing there.

But the electric company can shut off your electric for non payment.

I agree he sould be calling everyone in his and her family for some $$$$

I read you saying neither of you has been able to work until just in the past week. That suggests to me that one of you is now working. Cheers.

If there is one resident that needs electricity running in the apartment for health considerations, it may be illegal to turn the electricity off. Your deposit with the electric company should be your protection in the transient period until you arrange to pay the past due and the new bills. Your best recourse is to call the justice department in your state and explain the situation to the officer you talk to. That should be your best place to get the answer to your question.

By the way, who served you the notice to disconnect electricity, landlord or the electric company? Is the electricity in your name or in landlord's?
