Nola, the judge can let your tenant to choose to pay a lump sum or by installment one. If after that he no pay you, then you apply send him to prison for up to 6 weeks. You see he faster sells everything to pay you or not.

The judge decides on what is pleaded in the Landlord's claim, which generally would be the full lump sum payment. It is not a choice on the part of the Tenant.

Debt incurred by the Landlord is immediately payable upon service of judgement on the Tenant.

Payment in installments would only be relevant if parties enter a consent judgement/execute a settlement agreement agreeing to a installment payment manner, where the quantum and date would be spelt out clearly.

the judge has the discretion to allow for installment.

Judge will decide to allow or dismiss the Landlord's claim.

If the landlord pleads for a lump sum payment, the judge can only decide to either:

1.allow in full  the Landlord's claim
2 allow in part, the Landlord's claim
3. dismiss the claim entirely.

Unless of course, for whatever reason, the Landlord pleads for an installment on his claim, then the judge may decide on that.

nola. under s4(6)(b) DA 1957 judge can let him choose for installment

Debtors Act?

That is only applicable if the Landlord decides to file JDS proceedings.

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

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.

This topic has been discuss many times in Serious Kopitiam.

No payment, no supply ...

Search for old thread.

Reconnection cant be done on the same address/unit even wiv different tnb acc name . Change to tenant name might prevent u hv bad report in ctos ccris.

What the fk. Bit bullshit then. At least safe from CTOS/CCRIS.

Tnb only want money. Doesnt matter who pays or whose account.

You are wrong, TNB will still black list the unit until full payment when they can't find the tenant.

you said they don't want to pay what. 

This is the reply from TNB careline.

In the case that mini orchard presented, the amount might be to big to be ignored by TNB as the owner didn't bother to check the money owed on money basis. TNB apps already existed more than 3 years ago, that's how I check as it's ease me.

For smaller amount case, I believed the changing name and reconnection should be no issue.

smaller amount sure they let it. if bit coin mining 50k , are you sure tnb lets you to apply a new account?

Thank you for your deviation of subject and to put TS case in context to make it interesting, does the amount owed amounted as per your example or applicable to him as what I suggested?

Will not reply further. I already suggested solutions and provided info for clear clarification from TNB on the blacklisting and reconnection issue. Purpose of my reply is to help him. Not to nitpicking for the sake of it. I'm done here.

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

u can terminate the TNB under your name and ask them to register their own. so if they dont pay it's under their name. when they quit, then their responsibility to cancel it also.

It all start with a small tiny hill. Then it starts to grow bigger and bigger if left unchecked. Had 2 tenant electric bill 7.5K & water 2.5K, the other electric 3K and water 1K. Both also lari at the end. Always put their name and not ours as the account. Michael Chong selalu cakap, don't put your own name ar!!! Saw one of his press conference with a 700K electric bill before.

- ask the tenant to list out all the occupant name and ic
- do a ctos check on all of them. Below certain mark, then better be careful
