Hi guys, when you rent out the whole unit of your property,
do you change the electric and water bill account name?

Too many tenants run aways with unpaid bill cases.

Any pro and cons of doing this?

frankly speaking, so far our rental units have been under our name (landlord).

but if you ask me it makes good sense to put TNB and water (for those with individual water meters) under tenant name. For water bill with those under bulk water meter scheme (ie unmigrated condo water system) then you should notify the condo JMB/MC about the tenancy status.

In fact, IIRC, TNB has also made some changes to their process whereby landlords are now "digalakkan" to put TNB account under tenant name, so do check with TNB directly re this.

Here is a tnb facebook posting:
