Re: Does my land lord have the right to unplug my internet?
[ QUOTE ]
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? [/ QUOTE ] I guess you're joking but you're pretty much right. There's basically zero punishment for landlords that break the law. All you can hope for is to move out and not have to pay a penalty, and of course you incur all the time and dollar cost of moving.

[/ QUOTE ] Woman lived in a unit for 1.5 years for free and judges would never evict her because she was perpetually pregnant. Health department and city threatening me with prosecution because of vermin problem - rent collection and eviction impossible until that is cleared up - meanwhile tenants in one unit have the floor covered in chicken bones. Man breaks down door because he locks himself out and calls health department to complain about broken door. People leave shower on for weeks destroying bathroom and causing outrageous water bill. Tenants pull ceiling down on themselves and sue for injury - no case, no real injury - doesn't matter because insurance companies just settle. That's just some of what happened to me. Tenants screw over landlords about a million times more than the other way around and there are plenty of laws governing landlords and lots of punishments and in a lot of places under a lot of circumstances landlords will have to pay relocation fees. Some other property owners I knew had a policy to just pay tenants off up to $5k to move out without a fuss.

No, he can't take away a service listed in your contract. This is California, you have rights. I can't help you more until you tell the story, though.

Re: Does my land lord have the right to unplug my internet?
If he shut off your internet, you should shut off his!
Either disconnect his cable on the outside of the house or busybox his telephone line (depending on whether he has cable or DSL). This is the proper response.

Re: Does my land lord have the right to unplug my internet?
i want to know the story of what the hell someone has to do when fleeing fires to make their son's landlord want to evict him.
maybe it's a little different here in australia, but i think that if your house burns down, people may be slightly more forgiving than normal.
