No, Ontario does not have any such laws, though they have a program in place to help pay for utilities for people who can't afford them. More information is at the site below.

I'll Tell You What the Problem is. You won't want to Hear it, but maybe someone out there in "Cyberspace" that wants to Help Expose the real "Problem" Does! Thanks to the Clinton/Gore EPA-OBD II Law, all Gasoline Powered Vehicles in the USA from 1996 to the Present are Required to Run at 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel. Any Deviation from that, even if Fuel Economy is Improved, and Emissions are Lowered, will Result in a Failed Vehicle Inspection. The Vehicle will then be Illegal to Operate, because it's not Putting Out Enough Pollution! Really! I've come up with a Way to Turn Regular Pump Gasoline into Propane. 100 Parts of Air, to 1 Part of Fuel. 50 + MPG, with even the Largest SUV! And I'm not the First to do so. I Saw, On-File, at the US Patent Office, the Pogue Carburetor, which was Bought Out before WW II, with a Patented Claim of 100 MPG, with a Flathead Ford V-8 Engine Powered Vehicle that was 15 MPG! And, there are many Others as well. Only a Basic Drawing & General Description is Given, to Prevent an actual Copy of the Device. See, on a Molecular Level, all Petroleum is essentially the Same. Only the Dispersal is Altered. If this is not so, then how is it that Engines DO Run on Expensive, Cumbersome Bottled Propane? My System is Safe, Compact, and uses Low Pressure Air to do it's Thing.It's not just the Oil Companies that have kept a "Lid" on this Technology. When an Engine Runs on Vapor Fuel, it Lasts 10 Times Longer!Now, Who would want to Stop that? Watch what Happens the Next Time Your Car is Inspected with that OBD II Machine. The Gestapo would be so Proud of it! Big Brother has Won! What I'd like to do, to Expose the Hypocricy of this Law is to Restore, Convert, and Donate Vehicles to Charity. Starting with the Local "Meals-On-Wheels" Program. Also, Volunteer Veterans' Assistance Services. We in the USA Owe Them so Very Much! See, there's no Shortage of Good People that want to Help the Less Fortunate. It's the High Cost of Fuel that's made it so Difficult. Charity would be such a "Slap" in the Face of Greed! I can understand why a Vehicle that's putting out an Excessive amount of Pollution should Fail Inspection, but to Fail for not Emitting enough Pollution? This is Insane! It would take "Deep Pockets" to Expose this . Everyone Else that's Tried has been Stopped! For even more Insight, Check Out this Website.

Dunno bout UK...  Some states actually do not have any laws regarding that, and those that do. . .  well you would have to comply with the laws for a "mobile home". Also you have have trouble getting electricity installed to it. May require you to install a pole similar to those at camp grounds..... Where I live (Alabama) You only have to have it 2' off the ground. (concrete blocks) you must have it restrained with tie downs, (not difficult) and Have more than 1 entrance way (back door) - That is if your electricity is on a camping pole. (easiest way) Dunno bout plumbing specs, I don't see a problem though. But hey, if you have alot of land with trees, and if you don't tell anyone and don't attempt to get a registered address. . . .  who'll ever know you're there?

Laws vary by jurisdiction. Generally, it is not a violation to "warm your car up in the morning," however, there many be a law about leaving your car running unattended.

Contact your local by-law enforcement office, usually located in city hall, and discuss the practice with them. If it contravenes a local ordinance they will probably make a visit and advise the person to cease.

No, it is not allowed, at least not here in Michigan. Renters rights state a 24 hour notice before any one can come in and look the place over.\n\nIf it was a fire inspection (which seems unlikely at 11pm), then the landlord can get fined for all of the stuff being in the furnace room, and he could, in turn, pass the cost of the fine off on you.\n\nContact a lawyer and inquire about whether that was legal. Also consult your lease. Many times, inspections are outlined in the lease in regards to when they can happen, and whether or not the landlord needs advance notice.

There is no state law that I know of, at least not one that is enforced. Municipalities may have a curfew law; you would need to check each town individually.

CA real estate broker here, and the answer is unless it says otherwise in your lease, you have every right to turn the utilities off at the end of your lease.  \n\nPut that in writing to your landlord, and tell him that you expect not to be charged for this when he returns your security deposit within the 21 day time period he has to do so, and that if he does, you will take him to small claims court for the disputed amount, court costs, and the $600 statutory damages for failing to return a security deposit to a tenant.

There is a lot of law on this, but it's all state- (or jurisdiction-)specific and you'd have to tell us where you are for any answer to be reliable.\n\nAs a general rule, once told of the problem the owner of the livestock has to do something to prevent them becoming a nuisance. Do you have a fence? Are they damaging the fence?\n\nThe simplest solution may be to put up a cheap electric fence of your own. Disputes between neighbors can get out of hand, and the legal costs become disproportionate to the problem. I would suggest doing whatever you can do cheaply yourself before escalating the matter as a legal issue.

your landlord has a basic duty of care, as the owner of the property, ANY appliances contained within the property are HIS responsibility with regards to safety. This appliance should have a gas safety certificate issued by a qualified gas installer, all appliances he leaves in the property, inc, central heating appliances, should have a current(annual) safety certificate.

To stop convection happening you need the gap to be of the same order or smaller than the mean free path in the gas in the gap.  This is a very,very small distance at normal pressures so it is a good idea to reduce the pressure in the gap.

No. There are laws which prevent a landlord from cutting off water, but the utilities may withhold water if they have given reasonable notice.\n\nThough this link if for Texas, it's pretty typical
