Not unless the landlord has followed your state's laws regarding disconnection of utilities for nonpayment. Any landlord who disconnects the tenant's utilities (except temporarily for maintenance purposes) without following these laws will be guilty of constructive eviction. A constructively evicted tenant can sue the landlord for moving expenses and damages.

When renting an apt which includes utilities can a landlord include in the lease a clause for rent increase if utility usage is excessive?

If you signed the contract with that clause and there are no local laws contradicting the contract, yes. Check the laws in your area to be sure. The landlord in some regions can only increase the rent once per year and by a certain percentage. In this case, the landlord (under a yearly lease) needs to give proper notice of rent increase, usually 90 days. If the utilities are included in the rent, then I believe the landlord would have to follow those rules.


Can Landlords pass capital expenses of the property on to tenants?

This all depends on the terms of the lease. But generally, the amount of rent is a fixed monthly amount, which may or may not include some or all of the utilities. Anything separate that the landlord charges you, unless stated on the lease, is not part of the rent, and therefore cannot be enforced as such. For example, if your rent does not include utilities and the landlord pays utilities for you but gives you the bill for it, the utilities are a separate amount that is charged by the landlord. As such, your landlord would not be allowed to evict you if you do not pay utilities. This would be true of any other charges the landlord may impose upon you, unless it is part of the rent. For example, late fees can be added onto the rent and become part of the rent as due and payable at the time you pay your rent. Again, this must be stated in your lease in order for it to be enforceable.
