At least 14 other jurisdictions have enacted legislation which, in some form, prohibits the interruption of utility service by a landlord. (Alaska [Alaska Stats., § 34.03.210]; Arizona [Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 33-1367]; Connecticut [Conn. Gen. Stat. (1977) § 47a-13]; Illinois [Ill.Rev.Stats., Ch. 23, § 11-23.1]; Kansas [Kan.Rev.Stat., § 58-2563]; Massachusetts [Mass. Ann. Laws (Michie's) (1978 Supp.) ch. 186, § 14]; Michigan [Mich. Stat. Ann. (1978 Supp.) § 27A. 2918]; Minnesota [Minn. Stat. Ann. (1978 Supp.) § 504.26]; Nebraska (Neb. Rev. Stat. (1976 Supp.) § 76-1427]; New Mexico [N.M. Stat. Ann., § 70-7-36]; New York [Real Prop. Acts., § 756]; Texas [Vernon's Tex.Stat.Ann., art. 5236c]; Virginia [Va. Code (1977 Supp.) §§ 55-248.36, 55-248.40]; and Washington (Wash. Rev. Code Ann. (1976 Supp.) § 59.18.300].) It is significant, we think, that no other jurisdiction appears to impose a penalty so severe as that described in section 789.3.
