TNB contracts are tag to the property and NEVER to an individual just like Syabas, Assessment and Quit Rent.

Most landlord have the misconception that the tenant is responsible for the bill when the contract is in the tenant's name. If that is the case, landlord can always create FAKE agreement and do illegal activity in his premise. Once bill reached the sky without paying, just open another account.

Same like assessment, the majlis will seize the assets in the property with outstanding bills irrespective if the asset belongs to the tenant or owner. They cannot be going around msia looking for the owner ! The action will prompt the owner to settle the bill.

So, if you want reconnection, someone has to settle the outstanding bill first or appeal to pay instalment.

Get it done so you can start collecting rental. Have the account in your name for minitoring and you instruct for disconnection if there is unpaid bills. You cant do it if is in tenant's name.

Thanks for sharing, thus landlord should understand their responsibilities before rent out their unit, no more innocent landlord !

But TS followed what tnb suggestion that get the tenant to register and not under his name. And end up the tenant did not pay but tnb still chased him

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.

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

How you know it's been 3 months? hmm.gif
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

Seems like it's better if TNB could create a system, which it should direct cut off the electricity if the usage/payment due exceed the deposit placed, apply to all accounts, no more argue later.
Do the same for Syabas. smile.gif
