It is a duplex, so maybe turning off the gas isn't feasible, but the electricity?

I'm not a landlord, but I seem to remember that being a no go in Canada. Didn't that one guy in Edmonton freeze to death when his utilities were cut? I think it was at that time I remember reading that in Canada tenants either have to be legally evicted or there has to be heat and electricity. You can't freeze them out of the house.
