Withholding Personal Property?

My situation is a little complex, please bear with me, but I am under a considerable amount of stress and have nowhere else to turn to. I suffer from severe depression and anxiety, and have also been trying to get on disability, as I have been so high-strung as of late that I keep having panic attacks and sleep paralysis, so please forgive me if I jump around a bit in my paragraphs. I originally lived in RI for my entire life

Insurance premium plus low FICO score equal greater risk (i.e., rates?)

I just received my homeowners insurance renewal and as I read through it I noticed a paragraph: "Consumer reports may be used to determine the price you are charged.  We may also obtain and use a credit-based insurance score from information contained in these reports.  We may use a third party in conection with the development of your insurance score."  Maybe folks with low credit scores are more likely to have their houses catch fire?  Or have their roofs blown away in a storm?  In the past at least one major insurance company jacked up rates on otherwise safe drivers simply because they had low credit scores while at the same time the largest electric company in my state charged more per kw hour to customers with subprime credit (on top of security deposits, late payment fees, disconnect and reconnect fees, and everything else they could think of to keep a struggling snook down.)   But that's life in a edited state where the insurance board and the utilities commission don't give a hoot.   Edited to remove a political reference, which is one of the five things we can't talk about on these forums - llecs, myFICO moderator

Landlord disconnected utilities, refused to submit documents to utility company

I moved into an apartment August 1, 2010. I immediately contacted the utility company to have the electric, heat, and cooking gas switched to my name, as it was in the landlords name for July 29 and 30, as they were cleaning the apartment from the previous tenant.

Business Tenant keeps breaking leases, switching to new LLC (or unregistered entity)

The short version: [We are now pro se Plaintiffs, having dismissed "full service law firm" after they made more of a mess of things. Supposed Tenant went Bankrupt during these proceedings.] We had a business tenant who approached us with the arrangement; we were not otherwise seeking this particular tenant situation, but it was a reputable firm - or so we thought. The rent was late immediately.
