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.
