I submitted request under TNB portal on 1 Feb 2024 to stop the electricity which TNB supposed to remove the meter on yesterday (4 Feb 2024) but I think the buyer managed to cut the queue by submitting the change of tenancy on time so eventually the meter was not removed and my request was cancelled. But not too bad, at least today (5 Feb 2024) my account turned inactive and deposit was back to my account.

I handed over the keys to agent (to pass to the buyer's lawyer) on 30 January 2024.

guess what. my rm800 deposit had earned me rm174.xx of interest over the years.
tnb lagi gives interest for deposit, so good.

Malaysians really malas lah. As folks mentioned, it is not in a lawyer's job scope to attend to such things as previously TNB/Syabas required owner to be there in person. Anyway a good lawyer will insert a clause in the SPA to put an obligation for the seller and buyer to attend to the change and that's it. The seller/buyer will need to execute it themselves.

i am not sure if my case the buyer himself went to do the change of tenancy or his lawyer helped him to do.

i do not need anyone to help me to terminate tnb or saj (i am owner) but obviously the buyer also acted on this.
probbaly i should have terminate tnb and saj BEFORE i even pass the buyer the house keys. then they have no way to intercept my termination request. just let the buyer to enjoy more troubles in reconnecting the tnb and saj.

didn't know TNB give back interest over the years

yeah. first time i know also. so good man..

dun know if saj also did the same thing or not...

you try & let us updated

already terminating in progress, see how much i can get back. deposit is rm100.

do you need to provide any meter reading for tnb or pba?

For TNB, everything was done online. So, i didn't take any reading.
For the water company, yes. They wanted a photo of the reading on the meter.

hmm good point

No le. For saj in jb no need. Just cannot do online, must fill up the termination form and submit at the counter and provide ic and bank statement photocopy for refund of deposit.

They never ask to do any taking of photo for meter reading.

I live in JB too. They want to know the meter reading as a cut off. Maybe you don't have to do it as your buyer did it or you told them the meter number verbally.

Free use hahahaha

Dont need seller involve. Just bring ur S&P to open new acc.

No. I submitted the termination request first before they even come to do a change of tenancy.

And my termination does not require final reading.

Maybe they will go to read themselves?

Ok then in this case is the competency of the said lawyer which again individual
