Sorry for bringing up this old thread.
I have been trying to research the possibility of transferring my utilities (water, TNB, IWK) to my tenant's name rather than using my own name. It seems from this thread you can do it with TNB. But has anyone else done it or know if you can do it with Syabas or IWK?
I had a bad experience with my tenant recently. Didn't pay Indah for more than 1 year accruing about $2k bill. My bad for not diligently checking. Only found out when Indah send me a court summons. Though I cleared the summons and recovered the dues from the tenant, still I don't want a repeat. I was told now unpaid bills can end up on the records of the credit reporting bureaus (CTOS) which will affect your loan application if you plan to invest in properties.
Anybody know other legal ways to have the utilities go after the tenant in the event of non-payment of bills, if an account-holder transfer is not possible?
I settle my tenants bill on a monthly basis, so I'm sure its always paid and always up to date. Then again, my tenants are just students, so maybe easier to control too.I have been trying to research the possibility of transferring my utilities (water, TNB, IWK) to my tenant's name rather than using my own name.

Yes, it's possible to do it for TNB. Did that when I was renting the house during my uni days, but not for Syabas or IWK, simply because it was much lower risk as compared to electricity.
