Tenaga Nasional Berhad had unveiled a new application called “myTNB” that lets landlords keep an eye on the amount of electricity used by their tenants as well as their bills, The Star Online reports
But first, landlords would have to subscribe to TNB’s e-Services at www.e-services.tnb.com.my.
“You can track your tenants’ payment record online and choose to activate e-mail billing of premises that you leased or rented out,” TNB’s senior general manager (customer service) Kamaliah Abdul Kadir said in a statement.
Kamaliah added that the e-Services and myTNB were meant to help alleviate the trouble landlords faced when their tenants ignore electricity bills.
“Account holders can register up to 20 premises each for both TNB’s e-Services and myTNB. If there are long outstanding bills, landlords can arrange for TNB to cut off supply so that they will not be left with huge unpaid bills,” she was quoted as saying.
She also advised landlords to sign a ‘“Charge of Tenancy (COT) agreement” with TNB so payment responsibility falls on the tenant throughout the tenancy period.
