Even if your lease states that they are to put the utilities in their name, shutting off any essential utility, i.e gas, power and water is asking for trouble no matter how you look at it.

I would have to agree with Jake that the landlord is affecting the health and safety.

Include a claues in your lease that states that they have to reimburse you plus extra fees for paying the bill, if so desired, for failure to switch the utilities over to thier name. Don't forget to mention that the charges are added rent so if they don't pay up when rent is due, you can leagally start the eviciton process.
