The landlord disconnects electricity due to an outstanding balance

Dear All,

My landlord disconnected the electricity in my flat and locked the electrical room due to my outstanding balance.

What will happen to me if I unlock the door to turn on the power?

My money is with my recent employer against whom I won a labor case. The landlord refuses to wait

No, he doesn't have the right to do so, else he needs to file a case against you in the RDC.

Until that time, you have the right to call the DEWA authorities and prove the current state of the contract.
