Not much diff. If under tenant name and later he cabut, u still need to pay.

Yes if u want to reconnect the electric supply and transfer account back to your name.

My former office also same problem.

TNB under previous tenant's name and he cabut after failing to pay the landlord for 3 months. Electricity bill comes to RM 3K. I applied for new account at TNB and they told me to settle outstanding arrears first before proceed. Called the landlord and he agreed to settle the arrears.

I'm doubtful TNB will go after the former tenant and there was no forwarding address. Everything on landlord.

Change of tenancy
To ensure the person occupying the premise is also the person liable for the electricity bill. This is done by changing the name of person paying the electricity bill of an existing TNB account. It is highly advisable to do so when there is a change of premise occupier, to avoid the liability of non-payment on the registered account owner.

For an example, you can change the account name on the electricity bill of your rented premises to the tenant’s name. The tenant will then be responsible for the payment of the electricity bill every month and the landlord will not be held liable should the tenant vacate the premise without paying the electricity bills.

Hi guys.
I'm planning to rent a house. Can I just terminate my tnb and let the new tenant to apply his own tnb?

I'm just worry that the new tenant refuse to pay tnb bills later on
