Change of Tenancy

Change of tenancy

To ensure the person occupying the premise is also the person liable for the electricity bill. This is done by changing the name of person paying the electricity bill of an existing TNB account. It is highly advisable to do so when there is a change of premise occupier, to avoid the liability of non-payment on the registered account owner.

For an example, you can change the account name on the electricity bill of your rented premises to the tenant’s name. The tenant will then be responsible for the payment of the electricity bill every month and the landlord will not be held liable should the tenant vacate the premise without paying the electricity bills.
