Is this a successful example of conversion?

i think the utilities rate is base on the usage if you refer to tnb and syabas website,
they are many apartment built on commercial title but utilities still base on resi rate.

same, if a landed house (resi title) but used as showroom (commi), the utilities will then base on commi
so, if the building eg soho,service apartment is use as resi , the utilities shud be resi rate too

i think the rate is base on usage as per their website

“Domestic Consumer” means a consumer occupying a private dwelling, which is not used as a hotel, boarding house or used for the purpose of carrying out any form of business, trade, professional activities or services.

TS any updates?

TNB is follow the resi rate but not for syabas especially got shop lot downstair ..these issue a lot of people still unsatisfied with these term...

yes agreed, especially strata property where initially it was bulk meter (under developer name), but once upstair resi have individual strata title have been issued, it should be able to covert to resi rate, the meter now transferred from the developer 's master title to individual title.

True. Electric bills can run into the hundreds

I have similar case to this post owner. Im about to collect my apartment key this week and developer ask me to settle all excess payment first. Then I found out, my "Electricity Deposit Charges" is RM 1620 + "Additional Deposit Charges" RM 615. Total is about RM 2.2k Holy shxt. Even my water deposit is RM 200.

Staff from Developer side told me that it is commercial land tariff. I was like, I bought a residential apartment & you were telling me that its Commercial land? It has NO shoplots & only one block of apartment. I'm so confused.

So my question is the same, will it take long time to do conversion to Residential Tariff ? Is this done individually?

Did you manage to convert the tariff? How long does it takes?

interested to find out as well

Parking. Seems no clear solution after long discussion.

any clear solution yet ?

I wonder...if I were to buy an office lot and live there like an apartment.... can I apply for TNB and IWK to charge me home residential rates?

Tried converting water at klang office but cannot do so becuz under commercial title. But electric can convert to residential.

Water and assessments cant change.....

Good thing electric can change as it consume the most among utility bills

best to do it yourself. dun rely on JBM or JBA to do this.
