You're comparing apples with durians.

is never a durian with apple comparisons.

Who else can be responsible for your property other than yourself ?

TNB is really suck, they should have cut the electricity if the tenant didn’t pay the bill for such a long time.  I think a lot of landlord also have the same problem.  TNB so rich, don’t need to collect money one,  they don’t bother to monitor those outstanding payments, just let the tenant drag the payment as long as they like. Stupid company.

I think TNB is not chasing TS to pay the bill, just not allow anyone open new account using same unit address. Else same case might repeat again.
Yeah, either friend pay or owner pay it.

Technically tnb not chasing him.
Just not allowing him to register another tenant.
Which as others have said make total sense.
Since if not, landlord can just keep registering new tenants.

As a landlord TS should have kept track of the tenants bill.

Typical victim blaming mindset.

Someone thinks it's the landlord's responsibility to monitor and prevent this from happening, never mind that the account is under tenant's name.
Too high bill? Easy, collect more deposit from tenant.

If TNB relies on chasing tenant than landlord, what happens if tenant runs to another state or country where TNB has no jurisdiction?

Its a bit funny how people complain why TNB take no actions, yet from the news few days ago when TNB did try to cut electricity of an illegal bitcoin farm, people complain they have no right to break in without police permit.

3 months didnt pay or usage exceed deposit(with tnb) amount how come tnb didnt take notice and cut the electricity? Its their side that didnt do anything to prevent it. As landlord TS if knew beforehand cant even do anything cause meter is by tnb, he cant go and pull the fuse himself. Dont say he should had reported it to tnb cause account name is not under him just the property

No others can be responsible for the property other than the owner if one knows basic legal matters.

If the landlord have consulted a lawyer to prepare the TA instead of agent. Penny wise pound foolish if something like TS case. Lawyer charged 1 month rental as legal fee excluding disbursrment for TA which many landlords wont want to pay as they also need to pay the agent fees. That would be only 10 months rental collection for a year tenancy.

How you know it's been 3 months?
If not mistaken after bill is out user allow to have 30 days to clear it.
Btw below is from TNB site:
Some owners are left with hefty bills after their tenants have moved out. How can owners protect their rights?
Property owners have two choices as below:

1. In the situation before a new tenant moves in, property owners could do a Change of Tenancy making the tenant fully responsible for any delinquent account. However, owners will lose the right to instruct a disconnection to TNB in the event the tenant defaults in his monthly electricity bills
2. Owners could register with myTNB and would then be able to monitor their tenant’s monthly usage and payment pattern

How will getting a lawyer to prepare the TA make any difference to the outcome? If tenant runs off without paying the electric bill you are left holding a piece of paper whether it was prepared by a lawyer or you printed out from your PC. Either case you can still sue your ex-tenant if you want but getting justice from the courts is tough, expensive and time consuming. The point is, getting a lawyer to prepare your TA changes nothing.
