As previously noted, the section provides that, once the landlord has interrupted the tenant's utilities "willfully" and with intent to evict him, the landlords "shall" be liable to the tenant for both actual damages and a penalty of $100 for each day the tenant is "deprived" of service. (Civ. Code, § 789.3, subd. (b)(2).) It will thus be seen that the statutory penalty is mandatory in amount. Furthermore, and importantly, the duration of the penalties is potentially unlimited, even though the landlord has done nothing after the initial wrongful termination of utility service except fail to restore it.
