Squatters will always be protected.

Landlords will need to engage a debt collector or lawyer to kick these maggots out.

Since the TNB account is under the landlord's name, I believe u can request to cut it.

As for the tenant making noise, just tell them to apply TNB under their own name and refund back the utilities deposit.

Legally, u only renting an empty property without utilities. Tricky part is to sign back the TA.
