As a landlord, you have the responsibility of providing a habitable rental home and have an unwritten warranty that the premises will remain habitable. That means you must provide basic services to all your tenants. A residence must have heat, power, and plumbing, no problems with the structure that could be a danger to anyone living or visiting the property at any time.
If a tenant complains, and you are the landlord or property manager, ignoring or refusing to make necessary repairs you are in violation of the habitable law. Trying to get the tenant to move by shutting off services or locking them out of the property will only result in a judgment against you. Make sure your property is in good repair and not in violation of the habitable law. If you have any questions contact your attorney for sound legal advice.
