Problem: 24 hr Eviction Notice

Problem/Goal: Rental Eviction I would like to know our legal rights and possible remedies

Context:
Idk if this is the correct sub for this but hi, 23 [F] Here’s the situation:
I rent a room with 6 people. All 4 of us have been paying rent monthly to Person A and B, who are also boarders like us.

It recently came to our attention that our monthly payments for the past 2 months were never forwarded to the building management by Person A and B.

Today, the building management personally went to our room to deliver an eviction notice and cut water and electricity, claiming non-payment. We were only just informed today about the situation. The management is demanding that we settle the unpaid rent within 24 hours, or they will proceed with eviction and involve the police.
Additional details about notices:
May 10 – first eviction notice was sent to Person A and B (via messenger)
May 19 – second eviction notice sent again to Person A and B
May 21 – third eviction notice, 24-hour deadline

My questions are:

  1. Is it legal for management to give us a 24-hour eviction notice?
  2. Can they cut utilities before a proper court order or reasonable notice?
  3. What steps should we take in this scenario to protect our rights under tge law?
  4. Does the fact that we paid Person A and B affect our liability or rights?

Just need your thoughts. Already emailed PAO but no reply yet :))
