You've already demonstrated your contempt for poor people, and the indignity of the whole process doesn't seem to bother you.

Perhaps it is also beyond you to imagine that someone else might be paying for their phone service, perhaps a loved one who wants to keep in touch with their family.

How nice of you to even suggest that it would be worth clogging the court system further at taxpayer expense, so that a landlord can take pointless revenge against someone who is down on their luck.

As part of a court hearing, the tenant could be required to provide a bill showing that the cable includes telephone. That would be a complicated extra step, however.

"The weird thing is that the ruling doesn’t require a tenant to actually use their cable for telephony"

The weird thing is expecting that the landlord will be able to tell one way or the other whether or not the tenant is using their cable for telephony.
