A landlord is required to provide and maintain all vital services. A landlord cannot disconnect any vital service until possession of the rental unit is returned to the landlord by the Sheriff. The penalty for failure to provide and maintain a vital service is a fine of up to $50,000 if the landlord is an individual or $250,000 if the landlord is a corporation.
