My tenant(s) is/are behind on the rent and I want them out. Can you cut the water off as a means of forcing them to move out?

No. It is against state laws for the village to turn-off water as a means of eviction. If your tenant(s) is/are behind on their rent, you must go through the court system to initiate the eviction process.
