it is not accrued because its stolen.

Lets say actual usage is RM100k per month

TNB will just calculate backwards , usually from the month the tenant comes in or where there is change in usage pattern such as sudden drop.

Serviced apartment got such risk or not?

The defendant lawyer for the group of landlords is quite useless. He doesn't even know how to defend their rights with substantial evidences at hand to instead relay the claims towards the tenant who was the real thief.

I would suggest they should change law firm and find a more experienced one in handling their cases.

This is the best explanation and the correct understanding of this topic.

TNB is passing on their responsibility to landlords.

If TNB cannot monitor an area for spikes in electricity consumption and take the appropriate actions before the stolen electricity balloons to RM 1.7 million, what are they even doing? The people should not be footing the bill for TNB's incompetency.

If tomorrow, a pipe bursts outside a house, should the landlord of the house pay for the water wasted because of the proximity to the burst pipe?

Deswai I always say, buy house to stay in, not rent out.

sounds reasonable

but this case and all similar cases in the past, all TNB won

can't win in Malaysia

correct. tnb has set a precedent. now owners will have to protect themselves since the law doesn't.

>check cable tampered
>straight go inside, check pc mining coin
>catch the tenant

This one is still through the meter right?

So if have smart meter will show up
If the owner landlord can see monthly bill on the app, if it's registered to the landlord's name

Yang kena kaw one is the ones that tampered the meter
That tnb app cannot see the unit usage as well right?

mereka macam polis

tenant got show up meh?

The device which hooks unto a live incoming wire called an Ammeter (3 coloured wires means a 3-phase supply) each registering a draw of ~48A each while the TNB smart meter is not recording as much utilization means there's theft before the meter modifications involved.

The unit looks vacant and without activity. It's already suspicious that a vacant unit like that can be consuming that much electricity at one time.

48A per phase 3X48A is like 144A peak. That's already like a large factory.

Smart meters are cannot easily tempered because they're digitized. These thefts tap it from somewhere before going through the customer's meter to get free electricity. It is these cases where the theft taps it before going through the meter that holds TNB responsible instead of the landlord because it's the responsibility of the utility provider to make sure no leaks on their part of the supply before the customer's side of the demarc line(reading meter).

HP to Watts per hour estimation table:

1HP - 2544BTU/hr - 745Watts - 3Amps per unit
1.5HP - 3817BTU/hr - 1119Watts - 4.7Amps per unit
2.5HP - 6361BTU/hr - 1864Watts - 7.8Amps per unit

144A???

Freezer room inside?

Burst before meter, syabas rugi, owner no water or low pressure

If burst after meter, then owner problems

iinm if the account if on tenants name then next time if he make a house and needs to open account thenthe tenant cannot open ana ccount until he settles the bill...the bill is link with his the tenants name...so theowner can open bnack his account and put back in his house.
