Some vital info is missing here. When did your rental begin, is it a lease or M2M, what does the rental agreement say about electric, etc. For instance, if you moved in yesterday and the lease says you will have electric turned on today, the LL is correct in placing a turnoff order last week to take effect today, and if your agreement is M2M, the LL is correct to provide you with a 30-day notice to terminate tenancy and use the LMR for its purpose. Eviction is only necessary when a deadbeat tenant doesn't leave after his rental agreement is properly terminated with appropriate notice, or for non-payment of his obligations under the lease, or for violations of the lease agreement. I bet there's more here than just the bit OP revealed.

It's a month to month lease, and electric is supposed to be paid by me but since the bill is in his name, he has to pay the bill by law and bill me for it. I moved in more than a year and a half ago. There's no problem with payment. He's already paid in full because I want to make sure when I go to small claims court that the judge can see that I acted in good faith. From what the tenant advocates said I can sue him for 2 times rent plus the return of any security deposits paid.
