Here you can have serious water damage if the place is unheated, so I have the utilities set up to convert to me if the tenant disconnects them.

Perhaps you might consider renting to the station, and buying your show spot from them for the same amount, so that you can disconnect the two commitments.

I have noticed lately that they are disconnecting the water tank and furnace and not just ripping them out.99% of our houses in Detroit are cleaned out of almost everything.So yes this happens everywhere there is easy money

If braided and quality, I would disconnect the pull-down and bring it into the habitat store or a box store.  

So, money, as the medium of exchange, with oil (major and dominant commodity) is now wirelessly disconnected in some portions of the continent.So, these events, lumping together, I can now call as a function of the sum of all and major events (surrounding the medium of exchange - money).

Suppose if you have Stevie Wonder doing it, maybe.Disconnect output hose, turn water off at sink, remove water supply hose, pull out dishwasher, disconnect from mains, connect new one to leccy, water and waste, push back in, put dishes in, turn on, job done.How on earth do you spend more than say 30 minutes?

Besides the regular tenant nightmare issues like tenants letting the pipes freeze due to services being disconnected for non-payment, property damages, ongoing calls about plumbing issues, and the list goes on and on and on... there are other reasons (when dealing with Section 8 tenants) that would not make it cost-effective to be an absentee landlord that doesn't bother with their tenants.There are routine inspections, repair reports, fluctuations in rent portions, and times where NHA will abate (not withhold) rent due to failed inspections.

If it's gas, that's dangerous and the dryer should be disconnected until proper venting is installed.Bring it to the owners attention.  

I essentially call them so many times and keep calling until the number is disconnected or they tell me to get lost.

Also in my county if it has been vacant for more than a year power is disconnected at the main, in order to get it turned back on electrical must be updated.
