If this kind of case set precedent, DLLM who dare to rent things out wor. The individual meter registration should already separate the risk between tenant and owner.

Another very stupid thing about TNB is why dont cut the electric early?

Whats the guarantee letting it flows like that , you will get the money back?

TNB is a fat cow. time to make it works.

that why but the landlord kalah worrrrrrrr

sure some corporate by laws hiding somewhere let them win.

Must fight to FC la this case.

Unethical LPT

Don't buy house, just rent then steal electricity

sell property
pay tnb
??????
profifiittit

not sure...

haven't read the whole news to know the basis of kalah

Meter registration isn't the issue right



Tenant is fake, scammer used stolen identity to rent and sign rental agreement
Scammer steal electric, owner doesn't realise and has no way of knowing unless he checks physically
TNB detected
TNB sue owner
Owner sue 'renter' but turns out it's stolen identity

TNB only cares who legally owns the meter, which is the owner
Up to owner to chase 'tenant' but if it's stolen identity then it gets complicated
scammer in the end goes scot free

Explain how this is disadvantage to customer???


You pinjam credit card to your girlfriend.
she swipe until FULL
you refuse to pay, because is "NOT YOUR EXPENSES"

like this?


1. Invest Property
2. Rent our prop also Rent out own TNB Account to Tenant.

3. Tenant run away with tons of outstanding bill

4. Landlord, not my problem.

Stupid TNB does not have a stop loss procedure to auto stop and cut electricity supply upon excessive usage amount. But wants rakyat to bear huge loss. Simple procedure also cannot implement. Malaysia MNC company quality with CEO earning millions in a single year.
🤯

tenant can register electricity under their own name, why landlord want to use own name for electric bill

still living in 80s?

You are right.

The meter is not an issue only because TNB is too lax.

Objectively speaking, the meter ownership is the issue. How can the owner held responsible since the tenant fraudulent use his name to open a meter. Buka CCTV at TNB shop also can see who came and register right.

TNB just trying to deny their own problems in this matter.

i thought the meter is under the tenant's registration?

will still look for landlord for unpaid bills when shit happens

Safest way to avoid all these: don't rent, buy house only for own stay, not for investment.

If illegal tab means not inside bill

this i have to tell you
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW ELECTRICITY SUPPLY WORKS.

not sure your education level, but let me explain in LAY MEN TERMS.

1. Do you think TNB can Predict next seconds, next hour electricity usage????

NO.

TNB supply the grid at 125~150% of grid average demand. to "Anticipate unexpected surge usage"
They cannot just supply 100%. this will cause ALOT trouble

So, Yes. TNB always has "MEGA watt amount of electricity that goes wasted"
It let them flow, either for nothing or , can go court for a big charge.

Some of my client faces this issue to but not to the extend of millions but hundred of thousands.

My advice to them is not to go to court since the act is very clear tnb is going to win as long you are the account owner

Hello, meter ownership has been under owner all this while
Owner didn't change meter ownership, he just rent out his property to 'tenant' without change of meter ownership

That's why people always say change meter ownership when rent out property, but its a very mafan process most owners don't want to deal with it so they just pass on the bill monthly to tenant for them to pay
But in this case, 'tenant' bypass the meter, so the meter just shows normal usage
