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.
