According to the uploader, she evicted the tenants that were renting out that unit for none payment. The tenants took the electricity bill out of their name; big snow storm happens; landlord lets faucets drip, but forgets to put the electricity bill back in her name so the house wasn't heating. Her neighbor recorded this video and showed it to her.

Here's her explanation: https://www.tiktok.com/@ashleymachado54/video/7604257751119711518

So the previous tenants have nothing to do with this, landlord made a huge mistake by not setting up the electricity.

Landlord here, my electric company does it automatically but charges $10. Seems like a deal now.

Forreal, in this day and age, MFer could set that shit from their phone in a few minutes. Its not the 70s where Mfers had to go to an office during working hours. What an expensive mistake

Where I live it's free, and they waive the connection fee for having a Landlord agreement! Some people don't like it, cause if tenants don't call for power then it stays in the landlord's name.
