My tennants are being evicted and are being difficult, can I disconnect the a/c.
My tennants are being evicted and are being difficult, can I disconnect the a/c in the meantime, till they get out. She is working the court system, and has not paid anything in three months, the least I can do is make the place uncomfortable.

Legally you can not disconnect utilities, and A/C may be considered the same as heat which you CAN'T shut off... however if the unit BREAKS, It may take some time to repair. And an adjustment on zero rent is still zero. Have they been served the eviction notice? Were they Month to month, and why after 3 months are they still in the unit? And not put out by the sheriffs? What state is this, what City. A/C isn't as important in say Bangor Maine as it would be in say Phoenix Arizona in summer, and I'm sure that's a factor weighed in by the court. |

The a/c is not considered a utility. It is considered an appliance like a furnace or refrigerator, stove, hot water heater, etc. is. Why won't they leave the premises? Did you get an eviction that included an Order of Removal? If you just got the eviction, fine. But had you gotten the eviction AND the Order of Removal the Sheriff can come and physically remove the tenants. If you didn't get the OOR, go back to court and have one issued otherwise the lady who knows how to work the system will be there for months! |

If you want to open yourself for a lawsuit you can try that. Trying to force a tenant out by making living conditions uncomfortable or unbearable is a sure way to get sued. Especially when dealing with someone who seems to know how to play the court system. If 3 months have gone by without an eviction order from the court, you are probably doing something wrong in the eviction process. What have you done? What has the timeline been. What area are you in? (ANY question on law needs to include a general area as laws vary by area). |
