this is more likely the case. case to case basis I think.

i think good business to offer offgrid battery backup solar panel services to these cases.

It is not waiver. But outstanding will be under the defaulter name. TNB will chase the defaulter.
For TNB, outstanding is not tied to the unit address but tied to the account holder.
New owner no not need to pay this.

Just apply and open a new account.

That is also why TNB encourages those renting out units to register TNB account under the tenant name.

TNB hopefully now follow owner not property address

Yup this is the correct answer, if you familiar with lelong trick is just to open a new account, no need to bear old owner hutang. The old owner name will be blacklisted until he clear the debt.

some say this could be bitcoin mining, how come authority didnt detect, something very wrong, tnb sleeping ? cannot remote check the meter ? how technology so backward in malaysia ? hahahahahaha

If not mistaken if you can show TNB you are new owner (SnP), they can do transfer of meter to new account.

The old account will still be kept showing default but the meter can repair to new account.

TNB distribution system not so good, cannot isolate each house and terminate

why tnb too lazy to cut electricity?

Why can transfer name if there are outstanding arrears?

Unlike condo that lawyer will get release form from management office, house i think not a mandatory step.

They will... In the meantime they will not make a new connection to that address until the case is settled.

Landlords are advised to transfer the registered account holder’s name to their tenant’s name so that the latter will be fully responsible for any charges due.

By submitting the Change of Tenancy form, landlords can avert the problem of tenants who leave large unpaid electricity bills upon vacating the rented property.

Changing the registered account holder’s name is simple. Property owners can do it online via myTNB portal or app (most preferred during the pandemic) or at the nearest Kedai Tenaga.

The steps to perform Change of Tenancy, including the supporting documents needed and related fees, are available on myTNB.

Landlords can repeat the same process to change the account holder’s name to a new tenant’s or back to their own name if they decide to stop renting.

If landlords do not wish to change the tenancy, they can still monitor the tenant’s monthly usage and payment patterns by adding the rented property in their myTNB app.

ASK TNB to check if not sure..... go nego for discount, bring proff he recently bought it, he probably untung pay less liao as TnB claw back the balance base on estimate calculated usage.

Good luck

Meaning i can simply get any "tenant" to register account then dont pay until get electric cut, rinse and repeat?
So i can get free electricity for life?

Kalau ada org and a business, they will potong, because that's the gangster way. If nobody inconvenienced, they will let it run, and let charges accumulate, because that's the gangster way.

I have no pity of property owners that bought many properties and end up can't afford to pay monthly instalment and pay the maintenance fees.

Let them rot. Why should we care for this type of people.

Another thing about the renter. No shame at all living free and also didn't pay any electricity bill. Banyak perangai orang macam ni.

Not really.

I changed name from my dad to my name. I have to settle any outstanding bill before they allow change name, although the property already transferred to my name.
