Remedy
To avoid moving off of the property or being evicted due to unpaid utilities, the tenant[1]:
- Cannot have caused any damage to the property due to the unpaid utilities;
- Must get the utility service running again; and
- Must pay the landlord the amount owed to keep the service running.
Repeat Violation
If the tenant has violated their lease in the same manner within the past six months, the landlord does not have to give them the option to cure the violation, and the tenant will be asked to vacate the premises within three days.
This notice period is extended another three days if the landlord mails the notice instead of serving it to the tenant in person.[2]
