Eviction with or without a lease makes no difference. But if tenants rent is current, you have no grounds to evict. As for the utilities, you do not have to pay them if it's agreed that tenant pays them, if they don't then they get shut off, their problem. However you can not call and request shut off.

What you can do is give your State required notice to vacate, if they are not out within those number of days, then you file for eviction on grounds of holdover. If they do not pay rent when due because they received that notice, then turn around and give them your State required notice either to vacate or pay/quit the day after rent is due and unpaid, then evict for non-payment.

You might want to check with the utility company. We are in the same situation - no lease, someone we knew, etc. The power company noted that we can have the power switched to the person occupying the home by notifying the power company. In our case they will put attach a notice to the home informing the tenant/occupier that they are not authorized and must have the power in their name and pay any applicable deposit. they will have 3 days to comply.... Check and see. But state regulations are different.
