lol. i dunno how you would accomplish this without having access to the service connection for the whole building, or an already existing shut off valve for the apartment (maybe that’s a thing, which would be a good idea).
but if they did, that is hilarious. it would be a head scratcher until they hired a competent plumber to trace the line, and of course landlords hate doing that so it’d be his dipshit cousin probably making a huge mess and scratching his ass.
That is expensive, risky, and most people don’t even know they exist. The original post is probably just made up by someone who doesn’t know anything about plumbing.
Unless there is a locked utility room, it probably isn’t all that hard to find the where the water meter is… which is a likely place to find the main water shutoff for a unit.

There are plumbing adapters that go on live pipes.
Though it seems pretty easy to prove the previous tenant is liable.
