Turning off Utilities on a rental?

I met a guy today that said he had a couple duplexes and rented them out. He says he keeps the utilities in his name and just charges extra rent to cover for the utilities. He then said if someone is late on their rent and after serving the pay or quit notice, he turns the utilities off. Is this legal? Sounds like a good idea but I wonder if it’s legal.
Thanks,
Richard from Tennessee
