I had a situation where the announcement was made
that a company was going bankrupt, I immediatly
unplugged their equipment.

The petition was made to the court the next week
after they filed that I treated them differently from
how I normally treat a renter (and I did, only3 months
past due unlike the 6 that I normally am too softhearted
to do).

I was ordered by the court to turn them back on,
but recieved no penalties other than a lecture that
I better treat all my past due tenants alike in that
kind of situation.
