even if the tnb name is under tenant, tnb will still chase your mom to pay it because its her property.

cut the power, deduct deposit to pay the bill and maybe kick out the tenant.

This info is not correct. If account is under the tenant, the landlord just have to make sure there's valid stamped tenancy agreement to prove the tenant staying there. Landlord will not be liable for the outstanding amount. I'm speaking from my own experience with a bad tenant.

technically yes but you will have trouble reconnecting it back

Nope. With outstanding of almost rm10k, I was able to reconnect back under my own name. The outstanding amount is under the tenant. Important thing is you must have valid stamped tenancy agreement during the period the debt is accumulated and the account is under the tenants name.
That thread you quoted, tnb went after the landlord because of meter tampering

Are you saying TNB supplied electricity to the same address with another meter under a different name, after they removed the meter that was under the tenant's name?
(Note: They may not have physically removed the meter, but placed the meter serial under another subscriber name)
Because everyone says TNB will not supply electricity to the same location until previous bill is settled. See post after yours.

They don't remove the meter. They only remove the fuse. Reconnecting can be done in less than 24hours. My case was in August 2023. TNB officer made copies of all the tenancy agreement from the time the debt accumulated. Make sure the tenancy agreement is stamped otherwise TNB will not accept it as valid agreement. They can say you fabricate the agreement.

Are you able to open a new tnb account for your next tenant without paying the bad tenant's bill?
*
Yes I was able to reconnect. I only paid the deposit and reconnection fee.

I see. Is stamped tenancy agreement the only way for TNB to accept that it is your tenant that is not paying bill under the property or are there any other related documents that can be used as proof?
*
Only stamped tenancy agreement. That was what the tnb officer asked for

if no proper stamped agreement (I think majority of rental under direct owner), even if the meter is under tenant name, then TNB will go after the owner?

If no stamped agreement, not valid to tnb. Owner still bear the outstanding amount. If you don't stamp the agreement it can also be taken to mean you're evading lhdn income tax or you fabricated the agreement
