Why does the owner assign the tenant’s TNB account once the shop or office is rented?

Owner’s worries, tenant’s doubts. Why should I transfer the TNB account to the tenant? Don’t worry, come on, let me explain it to you one by one.

In fact, Tenaga Nasional (TNB) provides the service of changing users’ names, which is to transfer the responsibility of paying electricity bills to tenants during the lease period so that they can easily manage their accounts without going through the owner. In this way, the owner does not have to worry about the water and electricity bills, but can sit comfortably and collect the rent~!

What do I need to pay for the transfer of electricity?

1) Deposit (The deposit of each shop/office is different)

2) Stamp duty RM10

3) Handling fee RM3

What are the documents needed to prepare to transfer electricity?
1) Sale and Purchase Agreement (S&P) / Tenancy Agreement

2) IC / SSM

3) The owner’s electricity bill

4) TNB transfer form

5) Owner’s authorization letter

In addition, the owner can also sign the termination letter and get the deposit back. Of course, when the tenant ends the lease, the owner can also connect the power supply back. 

*The above is the application form of TNB. You can download the form on the official website of TNB or fill in the form in TNB. There are 8 pages in total.

*The above is the termination form. You can download the form from the official website of TNB or fill in the form PS at TNB: It must be noted that if the owner does not transfer the account to the tenant, and the tenant does not pay the electricity fee or does something illegal, such as stealing electricity, once the national energy company is investigated, the account holder (i.e. the owner) shall bear all of it. Liability, such as the need to pay off the electricity bills that the tenant has not paid, may also be investigated for fines in court or sentenced to the average mortgage of the type of house.
