Landlords may not cut off essential services such as water in a residential lease. If your rental is land, vacant? or what? and you need water, maybe you have plants growing there, and your lease requires the landlord to provide water, then it is an essential service. The landlord could be liable for the loss of crops etc, due to turning off the water. You can contact me via this web site for information on a legal review of the law as it applies to the facts of your case.
