wow! ini machiem pun ada kah

Tnb can't ask police to go together to the house to terminate the connection?

Tnb will waive?

So good?

if the account is under previous owner,.. then the bill should be bear by previous owner,.. new owner shouldn't bear previous owner debt,... if the account is under tenant name,.. then TNB should chase tenant,..

Aik.. why tnb so generous one? Normally will cut after exceed depo..

This post has been edited by sprix: Jan 7 2024, 01:21 PM

stupid TNB did not cut the power even the money owned is more than the security deposit

dude you do know that if TNB did not get the chase the account owner they will just cut the power and then will not reconnect unless the old bill is settled even you're the new owner of the unit. If everyone does that TNB could go bust

Can. But you think kuli level tnb worker will bother report and take action? That's why whenever scammer call me say they want to help me save money I always laff at them.

then current new law that tenant can registered under their name,.. if tenant lari,.. owner also cannot sambung balik ??..

macam cool story je, TNB will potong and that new unit can't register new meter until owner settle the bill le

The hutang will follow name.

But tnb will cut that house power, until huang cleared baru sambung balik

Owner or tenant still the same. The billing is tied to the premise address and lot number.

That's why don't simply buy lelong properties as it may came with bill shock surprises.

I know someone who bought a condo unit in the lelong market received a bill shock of over 50k in MC maintenance bills.

Cannot.
Bill need to be settle on that house first . Before any further tnb connection. So owner must settle the bill.

so kira tak halal la for the penyewa but as per nasiputih, bumi ini milik siapa

bro ,.. just read the story inside,.. it said TNB will waive it,..

TNB frontdesk already said the same thing. Owner or tenant still the same status. If got outstanding, either party just settle first then only can resume connection.

Kantoi

then those register the TNB account under the tenants name is just a gimmick ???.. owner still liable to the bill ??.... might as well owner skip that process and take higher utility deposits,..

Maybe this applies to nons only

for landed, they have no authority to masuk

where got. tnb will blacklist the account holder lah that's for sure

janji kulit sama warna ok dah

Applies to all la. TNB don't care u master race or not. Hutang must pay. No pay, they potong straight. Don't care if house got elderly, sick or small kids.

agent will say moon star heaven everything one - sure BBB UUU one

due diligence lah what else

Then maybe the post mean waive for new owner and tnb will sort out with account holder.

21k?....sebulan crypto mining pun cukup....

THIS

one need to do basic checking at JMB office

otherwise surprise pikachu lah what else

yeah but in this case, since new owner win the bid, TNB will waive for premise only. old owner still owe TNB 21K, still need to pay, old owner couldn't make any new connection untik 21K settled.

as far as I can remember

no reconnection will be made UNTIL the previous hutang locked on the premise settled

dunno if they change to rules now

example

Previous owner kena settled. Not new buyer.

Lelong properties usual the owner already bankrupt, so impossible to settle. Sue also useless, also cannot settle.

I believe the guy bought a terrace house. Probably low cost unit.

Like in USA those USD 1 houses. It is big and you have yard and all that. But then it comes with city fees/ tax that costs a lot.



Japan too has those free to cheap houses also.



But here the cost to transport things and renovate is very expensive. again taxes is another matter.

This is why i don't like to rent to tenants

I had multiple tenants don't pay or don't pay the whole amount

Yes, I know you are supposed to change TNB to tenant's name when u rent. But it's still a hassle dealing with tenants

Some older houses have their meter inside the house, so officer can't intrude to cut supply if no one at home. Normally tenant will just ignore and hide inside house if they see TNB officer

I have a friend that lost his family home this way also. I did not know that their house was funded by his late mothers pension. Later she died due to kidney failure. And the house is no longer financed. I think their kids all have their own homes and family and decide not to help keep the house. End up kena lelong.

wah, tunggakan 21k tnb not potong karan ka?

TNB is managed by jokers … too many leakages … if managed by proper team, their share price will profit will skyrocket …

Whoever has the need to use the house eventually have to bear the cost of reconnection. Legally the fee is owed by previous owner/tenant, but TNB cut the power just the same and won't reconnect until the debt is settled. So the new owner cannot wait forever so eventually is forced to pay.

If someone knows a trick that can convince TNB to reconnect the meter without clearing the past debt due to debt not owed by new owner, please share here. Asking for a friend.

From past experiences, TNB will not cut the meter even when the debt exceed deposit. Why TNB is willing to do that, don't know. But that is what happens out there and that's why you keep seeing TNB debts in thousands or tens of thousands.

Owner not legally liable for the bill. But won't get TNB service since meter already cut and won't get reconnected until bill settled. So can live in the house without legal obligations to TNB if one install solar and just run on solar and genset. But not many can do that lah.

But the post by TS makes it seem like TNB waived the payment for new owner since it is a lelong unit.

really madafaker type one. before i have my own house, i oso rent house. before handing over key to owner i pay all bills. check apa barang rosak di rumah and get them all repaired.

seriously, TNB just pemalas makan gaji buta......they just refuse to take any legal action on the owner who hutang bill, instead they will expect new owner to settle hutang which is easier n less hassle for TNB

Duduk free + tak nak bayar bill. Totally sampah penyewa.

Got a friend last time won lelong house and later found out bill shock of unpaid TNB bill which he was forced to bear. Coupled with other issues, he gave up on the house and prior payment all forfeited. So it will be nice to know how to convince TNB change owner means no longer need to pay the past bill if wanna reconnect the meter.

Macam ni saya pun tak nak bayar. Guna sampai mati pun boleh.

install gate + lock
don't pay TNB bill
TNB can't suspend electricity
????
PROFIT

TNB can change name and start new account as long as you are the legal new owner.
The previous debt will always be accounted to the previous account bearer name be it ex owner or tenant name.

then still the same,.. owner still liable,.. else can't even rent out or sendiri use the premise without electric,.. so change to tenant name or remain owner name,.. still the same consequences,..

boss, those who bought lelong house, if previous owner got maintenance bill arrears, new owner need to settle also right?

This. That why all my rumah sewa bill under tenant. Not my name.

Tnb don't care

according to some,.. if tenant lari,.. the bill still under the address,.. so won't connect back the power supply,... until the bill is settle,.. so as the owner,.. u bayar or not ??.. if u not bayar cannot rent to other tenant,.. cos new tenant won't get electric even register as new account to your address,..,..

Maintenance fees, cukai taksiran, etc will always tied down to the unit number.
Need to pay/settle.

Refer the POS. most banks cover this up until the auction date. but is pay first and claim back process.

just don't rent to low income people and you should be fine. up your rent

cool story ni.

That in theory though…….in practice? Willl tnb end up asking new owner to pay?

Police will say must need court order 1st.

Gais, anyone know how to do this or have experience before?

If TNB refuse, you can file a court case to compel TNB to supply electricity to your premise.

Without gated guarded also wont cut lah

unless you are a lawyer yourselves, the loyar fees probably more or less than the bill dispute

that's why new house meter now outside the compound

senang mau potong

how much the legal fees ??.. how long the court proceeding will take ??...

that's why must avoid.....ohhhwaiii

So nice. Tnb pls let me owe until I pass away

U know why? Easy job. Less hassle to sue the previous owner or tenant.

TNB should put the defaulter name into ccris , many debt problems will be solved

so...........................................................................who can rent to them?

so generous ? but then again it could be accumulated long long long long long long time ago like those 1970s.



so many unanswered story, haiz, unfair world

Tnb smart meter isn't smart enough after all

i dont understand. if my property didnt pay tnb for 2 months. they come and cut already

If the account is under the previous owner's name and the electric bill has been disconnected. One can have a new account open and a new meter replaced. TNB will go after the original account holder. I know because I was a previous owner who sold 1 office lot but did not terminate the account. The new owner rented it to the mamak store and at 5K I had it disconnected but still did not terminate thinking that the Mamak store would pay before I closed the account. Guess what it was secretly reconnected, years later I received a court writ, I had to pay RM15K to TNB. The account was already terminated and the current tenant is using a different account.

Tak faham

1) disconnect at 5k
2) mamak secretly reconnect and use 10k?
3) tnb chase u for 15k
4) new owner no impact since mamak already reconnect

Like this?

dat is the risk of buying lelonged property

it is like open a box of expired cheese

P1: Anda sudah potong?
TNB: 21k saja, buat apa nak potong..

TNB memang sudah potong

that joker go and reconnect back and use it free ja

edit: look like never being disconnected due the compound always locked

Life is like a box of chocolates

Illegally reconnect back, bill continue to run and TNB just let it?

Aik....tnb bukan selalu.potong.ke kalau tuan rumah tak bayar bill

TNB more lenient after PKP
They will not cut off tge electricity, eventhough house owner requested it
And they not even come to check. Just warning in the bills

Something wrong here. Renter cannot easily apply TNB account/meter

Any property to avoid is former show unit or sales gallery.

My mech bought a formal show unit complete with furnishings and furniture for slightly below the market price. Everything went well including the title transfer.

However, about a year later, he kena slapped with a TNB letter stating the meter was illegally modified and had to pay 11k. The seller denied any mods and since everything already transferred to him, it was no longer their responsibility.

Ended up he had to pay TNB for no mistake of his. Fair or not?

Should get MACC check, normally if electric theft TNB should report police since breaking the law. How can let the problem continue.

i ask some auction specialist liao,... utility bills should be bear by the bidder,.. if u wan TNB waive it,.. u must engage lawyer to do that,... so for those who bidding in auction,.. it's your own homework to check on utility bills b4 bidding,..

This kind of thread must start racing if not incomplete.
We all know what race of people does it

damn... rent free and utilities free! No wonder the tenant willing to move without much fuss.

But for condo/apartment, remember to check the management fee too. I see some owe manamgent fee up to 50k and got lelong'ed.

Didn't you read ?
Lelong rumah TnB give chance....no need pay.

monopoly business also can manage until like this, really genius

tnb canot cut suppoly from their end? i din know this

But the account is for the previous owner not for the new owner. So whoever owns the house just has to pay?

actually it is waiver, need to apply and see their mood

yes, only thing is that TNB is not up your ass to claw back the amount due but the address is blacklisted until the bill is settled. Even if you could ask TNB to waive the amount due because its a lelong unit but its not a guaranteed that TNB will waive it.

that’s why when before u do title transfer, get tnb engineer to check the meter. if it is modified then get the lawyer to settle with previous owner.

to avoid this........................................

imposibru that tnb waive the 21K for rumah lelong. likely the 21K is paid from the lelong funds?
