I shut the water off and got a dehumidifier. 

My plan was to house hack the duplex, pull equity, rinse repeat...Enter FIGHT CLUBThe first week I moved in the power got **** off from failure to pay (last tenant) no power added with the no water (I shut it off as the bathroom had been leaking for who knows how long 🤷🏻‍♂️) Just like the movie 🎥 no power hell, I think they even had water in the film.

I tried to use the same debit card to top off after I was shut down at $75.

I have always wanted to convert an old building (i.e. warehouse, school, church, etc.) into a home.

If Jenny Craig was based on bogus science, lies, and did not at all provide the services they advertise then I would bet they would get shut down.

However, in this context, I'd like to do the opposite.The premise of my question is very basic: I've been told that in CA, it is illegal to take control of utilities, and then shut them off to persuade the occupant of a home that you own to leave, regardless of that person's legal claim to the property (the status' that I've mentioned in the subject line).

Then he folded the paper and taped it shut. 

That can help you gain business but if you advertise and spam with useless info everyone just shuts you off.

I work directly across from the Trinity Church in Copley Sq.

I set up alerts to notify me when people use 50/50 and I don't know how to shut it off.
