Your opinion on "do nothing" strategy (in Philadelphia) when tenant doesn’t pay utilities

I have lease that tenant has to pay utilities (although they are listed on our name). The tenant has not left out at end of lease and doesn’t pay any utility. I want to run in "do nothing" strategy in that I will not tell companies to shut off but I will not pay tenants bills. The rule that forces landlord to pay utilities for not paying tenant is rude and is actually making authorities to support delinquent behavior. In my case with the facts:

  1. Tenant is responsible for utilities
  2. Tenant didn’t left at end of lease

I have started already eviction request but is other issue:

Do you think I still should finance that rude "thief" by the name of the "law" or is it OK not to pay and not to call to shut off?
