What rights do you have while being evicted?  
A)  Right to move out voluntarily
B)  Right to dispute the eviction through court
C)  Right to bring rent current + fees.
D)  Right to privacy and property during the eviction process.
If your landlord shuts off any utilities as a way to force you to move, it would be illegal and you can call the police to intervene.  You do have rights, but you also have obligations which you are completely at fault.
