More details to this question:
Our utilities are in the landlord’s name. The other day he came and turned the electric off at the poll and put a lock on it. Later that evening, he gave us a 3 day notice. We tried explaining to him that it was illegal for him to do this. He said he didn't care. We also called the sheriff who said it was a civil matter and they couldn't do anything.

No, you need to sue him now to have the electric turned back on. Also call the health department to complain.
