A landlord in Rajasthan is experiencing issues with a tenant who has not occupied the property but has managed to reconnect electricity without paying bills. The landlord is concerned about the tenant obtaining a new connection in their name without consent. Advice suggests verifying the situation with the electricity board and noting that the tenant cannot obtain a new connection in their name as the property belongs to the landlord.

You can ascertain the factual position from the EB.

No. The house is in your name and hence he cannot. Is there any agreement between you and the tenant? Without occupying the house/room, how will he pay unless there is an agreement between you?
