QUOTE(joeblow @ Jul 1 2020, 12:18 AM) You are an expert. Yes you are right. Landlord cannot terminate the electricity or water without a police report. But I never hear the police would accompany landlord to go "invite" the tenant out. Most of the time they just complete the report and that's it. I do hear from housing agents that landlord need to find other "bros" to "invite" the tenant out. But for those outstanding electricity bills... headache as TNB cannot set an amount if not paid auto cancel. Most of the time they go by periods of check... so if you lucky you only run into 1 to 2k worth of electricity bill, if unlucky heard of 5 digit bill too... not sure nowadays still got such 5 digit cases where TNB still doesn't terminate the power. Recently, they have new guideline and will send disconnection notice once the bill runs over the deposit amount.

But the check is still random according to tnb person I spoke to. And as another bro pointed out, the actual termination will take a while even if the red notice comes out. Eg, one tenant got a red notice of over 2k. The deposit definitely less than 1k. So I asked why never trigger earlier, tnb lady said they check in cycles. ie not every month. Unless that has changed recently. Even now a lot of the tenants asking for 30% to 50% discount all the way to July because business is bad. Some of the landlords I know got tenant already moved out during mco. For sure within the next 5 months hard to rent out.
