Please help and advice .
My mom's new tenant has been paying rental, BUT have not paid electricity bills since moving in (4 months already).
After all the empty promises , and claiming she did not get her salary, etc , and my mom patiently and understandingly gave the tenant chance to settle it - But ultimately, today, the tenant arrogantly told my mom "Electricity bill is between YOU (my mom) and TNB. I won't need to pay. I will only pay if I have the cash" .
What legal options does she have now, to deal with this tenant from hell ?
As my mom had 2 long term very-good tenants before this, so 1 of the mistake my mom did was not transferring the TNB name to the tenant. (Which I just recently found out she should have done, when renting out to tenant) .. So i believe this tenant is using this mistake against her now.
I know what can be done is request TNB to cut the electricity first - But after that, what else can be done, in this scenario?
My mom is old, and I hate seeing her being bullied like this. Thank God she's a little tech-savvy, so she can still manage things a little.. But in this case, I NEED YOUR HELP, SO I MAY HELP HER deal with such a tenant from hell.. Appreciate your help so much.

Get a new sim card. Register the sim as the fake TNB's contractor. Use the sim (TNB) to send message ( not whatsapp message ) to your mother phone. The message should sound like this
" Notis pemotongan bekalan elektrik untuk akaun no:2202508XXXX dikeluarkan kerana anda mempunyai tunggakan bil melebihi 30 hari tempoh kredit. Kontraktor lantikan pihak TNB akan melaksanakan pemotongan pada tarikh xx/01/2025. Sila membuat bayaran dengan segera untuk mengelakkan gangguan bekalan elektrik. Bayaran penyambungan semula dikenakan kepada pihak pelanggan selepas pemotongan bekalan elektrik dan pihak kami tidak bertanggungjawab untuk sebarang ketidakselesaan yang timbul. Sekian, harap maklum".
Screen shot the message between this sim & your mum's phone. Extend it to the tenant.
At the same time, go to TNB request the cutting on the date mentioned. Reason, the tenant may ignore the message ( bring it on). If the tenant really did not pay, cut the power supply, let the tenant taste it the hard way. The subsequent reminder screen shot between the fake TNB & your mum, the tenant will think twice to ignore it again.
After the 1st attempt, continue to recycle the reminder. Tenant play 1st lunar of the month, landlord play 15th lunar of the month.
