You could be in trouble for doing that especially if children live there. Besides which, all they have to do is call the utilities and have them restarted. Utilities don't care who is paying the bills, they'll turn them on no problem.
Not sure if this is legal in most places. I think the best approach is to do research and background checks, and demand first and last. If that’s legal! I know for a fact that in Hawaii (for example) you’re limited to one month rent for the deposit.
Michael, your final thought "If you need to leave your home for a while, you may want to lock it up very tight, because there are plenty of squatters that would love to invade while you are gone," got me thinking about the home sitter services I often encountered as a former real estate broker in an area with a lot of second homes.
A certified realty company offering these services is a good idea since they're criminally liable for their contractual agreements and more. While these services already exist all over the nation, an expansion of them makes a good business opportunity for someone, gives employees or contractors a place to stay; oftentimes for extended periods like all winter long, and insures the owners that their homes will be safe from invaders.
I imagine more of this will occur and such ads will target our newer 'guests' in the various languages from which they hail, if that's not already the case.
See this matter as an immense fast increasing threat raging across America. This could scale up super fast...days, weeks...
This will now end well for the middle class homeowners: The ponzi-scheme of ZIRP for home mortgages since TARP under Obama in 2008-2009 is over; and the music has stopped in the game of musical chairs for new homebuyers 2% mortgages to buy existing homeowner's listings. Those same middle class homeowners who can't sell their overpriced homes and are now losing their jobs in the coming deep recession under Biden; and collapse of the regional banks and the FDIC and home values. Brace for impact, this is going to be devastating.
Praying and fasting in the Name of Jesus Christ (Yeshua Messiah) is the best strategy for survival and eventual redemption upon the Return of the King of kings. Time is short.
I live in a rural area, just north of Sacramento. Down the street from us there was an abandoned house that had hispanic squatters growing marijuana. The owner of the house finally left notices for them to leave, and they left. They had chickens locked up and dogs in the house, and they just left it like that. I called the sheriff, and they didn't do anything. The owner finally came over and opened up the house and had animal control take the dogs. Everyone in the neighborhood knew they were growing pot on the property while they let the house deteriorate, and the sherrif did nothing for years.
As a landlord, include the utility costs in the rent and keep the utility accounts in your name. If they don’t leave shut off all the utilities.

Be very careful which judge you vote for this year. I think they are the least researched on any ballot.
Solution is simple. Make it illegal by a congressional act .
It’s a squatter had kids call child protection services on them
I guess that depends on the jurisdiction. Recently, I have seen landowners successfully removing tenants by cutting off the utilities.
I live in a rural area, just north of Sacramento. Down the street from us there was an abandoned house that had hispanic squatters growing marijuana. The owner of the house finally left notices for them to leave, and they left. They had chickens locked up and dogs in the house, and they just left it like that.

Of course there could be legal issues involved plus varying from state to state.
Sounds like you are a communist who owns nothing and is happy.
