So, what tools do we have left? Some motion under 105 to carry out the

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?
