@lawyerelise: TENANT tampered with the electricity meter. LANDLORD ended up paying. This case is a reminder that legal responsibility and practical reality are not always the same thing. One simple precaution - consider requiring tenants to open new utility accounts under their own name. Electricity Supply Act 1990. Contracts Act 1950. DM for case citation. #lawyermalaysia #malaysialaw #metertampering #landlordtenant #property

As far as I know, even if tenants are asked to open a TNB account themselves, TNB has the right to refuse to restore power if the full amount is not paid. Ultimately, the landlord will suffer losses.

If payment is not made within the stipulated period, TNB may disconnect the electricity supply. Even after 4 months, customers may appeal for an instalment repayment plan, subject to TNB’s approval and assessment. Landlord advisable to change utilities under tenant’s name.

Even if the account is in tenant's name, the owner is still liable, as shown in a recent case.
