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.
