Does everyone have access to the electrical box and water shut off?

This week alone I've had an HVAC leak (2yr old unit, defective factory part), a toilet shut off valve washer disintegrate and clog line, and an above range microwave die. 

I think right now it's super important to really vet applicants, because they know they can just move in and not be evicted, and you can't shut off their utilities, etc. 

To add to it, the sellers moved out ASAP when we were under contract and had shut off the utilities prior to final walkthrough.

If you shut them down and it really is a God thing that they are doing, you could be in danger of the Higher Power.

Your personal choice to enlist and serve in the military and the personal sacrifices you made for our country, while noble, are not relevant to the landlord-tenant relationship.Sure, the laws also prescribe a process for tenants to resolve grievances against their landlord, but in my experience (in Northeast Ohio) it is point-blank untrue that a city would ignore a single mother with a toddler who came to them saying she hasn't had proper working heat, gas is shut off to the property, there are gas leaks and no hot water, she can't bathe or cook for her child, etc.I certainly would not tell a judge that the tenant could have cleaned her toddler in a public restroom while there was no gas or hot water in the property I'm leasing her for 3+ days.

As long as you don't shut off their electricity or anything you couldn't do anyway, if you were kicking someone out.

And guess, what, I've been telling people for MONTHS the shut down is government IDIOCY.

Republican or Democrat wants to be known as the person that shut down an affordable housing program on their watch.Something to think about.

I created a little book with instructions on simple stuff, like how to shut the water off to the toilet if it starts to overflow, stuff you can, and can't put in the toilet.
