    What can a Tenant do if a Landlord disconnects their utilities?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    A Landlord is strictly forbidden from disconnecting services�such as water or electricity�or disturbing the Tenant's use of the property. If this occurs, the Tenant should immediately go to the local police station to seek a remedy or file an official report. Furthermore, the Tenant can file a claim at the Rental Disputes Settlement Centre (RDSC) for compensation for any damages sustained. Using official police reports as evidence, the Tenant can hold the Landlord accountable for this illegal and disruptive breach of duty.
