In Florida, what does the law say about self-help, utility shutoff prohibited?

Answered for: Florida

A landlord of any dwelling unit governed by this part shall not cause, directly or indirectly, the termination or interruption of any utility service furnished the tenant, including, but not limited to, water, heat, light, electricity, gas, elevator, garbage collection, or refrigeration

This is Florida's statute on self-help, utility shutoff prohibited, in its own words.
