Because you are a professional, and if you do not hold up your end of the contract (lease), you cannot sue (evict) for non-compliance.

She has your place, therefore she has 'the money'. Remember, in Contracts, "he who has the money rules".

The one that is going after the money always loses, even if they eventually win They have to put up fees to get their money.

So, pay the utilities that you agreed to provide, and evict the tenant as soon as you can.

If you do not, they do not owe the full amount. And a judge may award the tenant reduced rent, plus the amount that the missing utilities cost them. Treble (3x) damages is always thrown about when a poor tenant sues a rich LandLord.
