In Florida, if the rent is not paid, you can take possession under the assumption the property is abandoned after two (2) weeks.

Post your Pay or Quit, any follow up notices along with a Notice of Property Abandonment then wait your state's time requirement and it's yours. Check your state statutes for abandonment.

While you're waiting, there is nothing keeping you from entering the property for inspection as long as you provide the required notice posted to the door. What you do while you're in there is your business. It's possible the place could be ready to show the day your take possession.

As for the utilities, if you put the utilities in your name, let that be a lesson to you. Don't do it again. If not, what are you worried about?

This is not legal advice nor is it intended as such. This is merely my opinion. For legal advice, contact an attorney.
