Is our landlord responsible for hotel bills caused by uninhabitable rental unit.?

My Apartment which is on a one year lease became Uninhabitable when the electricity was turned off. The 3 unit rental only has one PGE meter and the main house which was supposed to pay the bill. The occupants of the main house were in the process of being evicted. The refused the pay the bill and the PGE was turned off. The landlord refused to pay the PGE until the occupants vacated the premises. This in effect made the other 2 units Uninhabitable. We were forced to move into a hotel. Is the landlord legally responsible for any of the hotel cost's?
