Hi,

this is my first time renting out my apartment.

Currently the tenant already accumulated 2 months bill and havent pay yet.

If i am you , what will u do ?

Also actually how long didnt pay they will cut the electric and how much to reinstall back ?

Inform your tenant saying the unpaid electrical bills will deduct from the deposit.

how long u waited before u deduct ?

Should have let them connect electricity under their name. Anyway if under your name you can ask TNB to cut power anytime, right?

Like your situation now, 2 months of unpaid bills.

ya i can ask tnb to cut.

but just wonder what is the "standard" wait time or wait until tnb come cut ?

if tnb come cut, what is the penalty ?

Why dont u just whatsapp them and screenshot the unpaid bill?

Sometimes they forget. Sometimes they too busy.

Also be mindful to msg them with a casual hey bro i notice u havent pay the tnb bill yet. Dont forget to pay and forward the receipt to me once done ya.

Just treat them with respect. Im sure they would pay it once rhey receive the msg

Once you allow or start this way, he will also do the same for rental.

Utilities deposit are only meant to cover for final bill when TA expires.

To make it easier for them to monitor and make payment. I would suggest them to install the tnb apps and add your tnb account no as tenants. They can easily monitor the bills and make pymt thr by fpx.

Even air selangor is also can be done.

Deposit is for owner backup right?

If he do the same for rental then you can kick him out already.

Why want to teach tenant. Just remind him to pay.

2±1 deposit?

Ask them to pay balance if not kick out.

After they pay, drag them go TNB change their name as tenant. Future liability will be under them even they run away.

already did many times.

If terminated because not paying, yes penalty involved but not sure if you requested to terminate service.

Talk to tenant and probably transfer the utility bill under tenant name. Here is your guide

Doesnt matter tenant account or owner. As long bill not paid and supply cut, no future elect reconnection.

Sometimes when you met some bad tenant, don't bother to teach.

They purposely want to drag the payment.

But if the contract both of you signed have the TnC written clearly, then he and you know what is the consequences of not paying the bills/rental.

Then they give us option to change to tenant for what? Reconnection able to do but need to pay. I believed changing to tenant help truly helps instead the bill stick to your name. Currently TNB made it easier to do changing name to tenant.

If tenant worried about consequences, he wont delay or default.

This topic has been discuss many times in Serious Kopitiam.

No payment, no supply ...

Search for old thread.

Haha. You haven't met worst
