Utilities after motion for relief from stay
So, what tools do we have left? Some motion under 105 to carry out the
purpose of the Bankruptcy Code? An order giving title back to the lender
would be justified as debtors could be subjected to unending liability
(debt) if the lender decides not to foreclose for a while. This is similar
to the HOA dues issue. I found an article regarding a Judge's forcing a
bank to take title to a home in the link below:

Agreed and various judges have said this to me over the years.

Can a Debtor safely turn off utilities for common areas for a property for which the lender got relief from stay but for which title still appears under Debtor's name? Would a Motion to Abandon the property to the lender cut off potential post-relief- from-stay liability?

I posted this question before and I don't recall getting a reliable answer. My understanding is that California law requires notice to the tenants before terminating utilities, but I"m not sure what degree of notice.
