Does my land lord have the right to unplug my internet?
 

I am a college student at UCSD. I live in a house with two older people. My families house burned down in the California fires this week and they came to stay here, they had a dispute with the people I live with(land lords) and are now gone. It look like I am going to have to move over this. Today, the land lords unplugged my internet to punish me for my parents behavior, but told me he did it because we are on the same router and he doesn't want me interfeering with his work when he uses the internet... We agreed that internet would be included in my untilities. Is he allowed to do this? Don't I have tenates rights? Please help.

Is this almost unreadable, or am I drunker then I thought?

Is one of the older roommates also your landlord?

Did your family get in trouble for doing bad things on the internet?

I just want to know if my landlord has the right to take away something included in my utilities bill.

1. No you do not have tenates rights.

2. WTF, your family must be stupid.

Unless he has something in the lease where he's said he can punish you by taking away your inet he can't just do that.

Tell him to turn it back on and if he doesn't you will get your own inet service and deduct that from your rent.

What's the whole story? What did your parents do? Why is everyone either running away or being a douche when you helped your parents out at a time like this?

edit: I'm assuming what you said is true about inet being considered included in your rent.

Zerander,

The answer is yes. In fact, he can double your utility bill, stop providing those utilities, and help himself to whatever is in your fridge or wallet. are you this dumb?

What does your contract say?

Zerander - I am going to educate you on the internet.

You come to us with a boring request for advice. You also tantalize with some backstory that you neglect to tell us. This ignores the fundamental exchange that is expected. You entertain us, we help you out.

So what did your parents do to piss off the landlord?

Did you agree in writing? Is it on the lease?

It's hard to say without the back story of how bad whatever you family did. My guess is that he doesn't have a right to take away internet (not a lawyer), but he might be able to evict you instead.
