§ 756. Stay of summary proceedings or actions for rent under certain
conditions. In the event that utilities are discontinued in any part of
a dwelling because of the failure of the landlord or other person having
control of said dwelling to pay for utilities for which he may have
contracted, any proceeding to dispossess a tenant from said building or
an action against any tenant of said building for rent shall be stayed
until such time as the landlord or person having control of said
dwelling pays the amount owing for said utilities and until such time as
the utilities are restored to working order.
