well it is my business as i pay common fees, which pays for reception to handle the reception, not going up and down to deliver food to owners who are to lazy to come down.

Would never even consider a condo which allowed delivery drivers from foodpanda to literally go inside the condo and deliver to the door.... In our condo they leave in the designated space in the lobby, and presumably the drivers phone when they arrive, or you can see on the app. One of my bug bears is able bodied owners who ask reception to then take it up to their doors because they are simply to lazy to do so. Elderly, pregnant, those looking after kids, yes i understand... but someone being purely to idle.... makes me angry... go and get it yourself you lazy <deleted>.

Its been to 38 like once in 10 years, be prepared to wait another decade...

Problem is he does not understand the language so he can only play with farangs.

Would not bother trying to 2nd guess the exchange rate. If you both like the condo, location and you can find a price both you and the seller are happy with just get it done. The exchange rate might go up and might go down... 2nd guessing it or waiting for it to reach a certain amount just seems a waste of time. You like it, want to stay there-- the amount you save in one months rent essentially would account for any swing in exchange. Just get it bought.

Who pays for all of the hotels? Do individual countries pay there own? Or is it the trusty Thai Taxpayer putting money into the pockets of the big families who own the hotels and the convention center?

Very unusual for any condo in BKK to reach foreign owned quota.

People who have PTDS and depression are weak minded and soft snowflakes according to the fat old retired whingebags on Thai Visa.

Accroding to our Giddy up DVA assesor the assesors are wideily gullible morons.

Trained Pschiatrists who have studied for years are now labelled by some bogan as on the whole gullible... lucky we have you here trained on what is and whats not to lay down the law.

Have i given you stress? Old boy lol you thought you could handle it... what are you some kind of woke young one? Toughen up. PTSD allegedly only affects the younger generation who are trying to scrounge benefits according to the old boys on this topic.

No. I am being faceitius.... on a thread with lots of old men looking down on younger people because they were not strong like the older generation. This topic is just pathetic..

Lol pussy... could he not handle the front line?

The landlord is entitled to the rent for the length of your contract.... that is what a contract is, unless it stipulates that you can leave without penalty or under what conditions. Why does the landlord have to jump to action to find a new tenant, that is completely up to them. If you leave early the landlord has absolutely zero obligation to find a new tenant or lease the property to anyone else. You contract with the landlord and what they choose to do with the unit if you leave are completely separate matters. Perhaps in some cases the landlord could get double rent if someone breached nearer the start of a year agreement, but they would still have the time, cost of releasing the property. Depends on the property market and demand for the property. Whether they manage to do it and get 'double rent' is completely immaterial to whether you are still contractually obligated to pay the rent for the remainder of the term.

You are completely wrong, and if there are any lawyers on here they would tell you so. You have not one ounce of knowledge about contracts.

Sure, if the contract expressly permits you to leave early with only forfeit of deposit then of course. But i think you will find that is very rare. Why would a landlord accept that? It makes a contract with anything more than the deposit amount (maybe 1 month) completely worthless. Most contracts say something along the lines of "If the Lessee wishes to terminate this Agreement before the expiration of the Lease Term, the Lessee shall give the Lessor written notice of at least 1 month in advance, and shall pay the Lessor compensation in the amount equivalent to the total rental of the remaining Lease Term within 30 (thirty) days prior to the proposed termination date, and the Deposit Amount shall be totally forfeited." That is fairly strong, others simply say that the deposit will be forfeiture, and confiscation of the deposit does not preclude the landlord from taking action to recover monies owed under the agreement. The whole premise of taking a longer lease is that you get a better rental as the landlord has secured rent for a year. If you can just up sticks and leave and lose your 1 month it makes the contract completely meaningless.

Common fee 25K per month Golf 12K per month 50K per month... dont think so..

If its in rural area i doubt many agents would be jumping up ans down about it or trying to have some kind of exclusive salea mandate unless there was somethinf unique or special about the property. In situations where the property is unlikely to have buyers beating down the door it works best for bother seller and agent to have multiple agents listing it. Key is to get as many people to know about the property as possible including local brokers in the immediate vicinity.

Sure.. most landlords wont do it as its generally more hassle than it is worth. Commercial landlords sure has hell would not let a tenant walk away just giving up the deposit.

Sure there will be some deviations but a lease agreement is a binding document. If there is legislation you note above you would presume that is noted in the contract. Being able to just walk away from your deposit in Thailand does not void your rental obligations under that agreement unless there is a specific clause detailing that.

So why would any tenant or landlord anywhere in the World sign lease contracts more than the deposit amount if you can just walk away and forfeit the deposit? Astounding to me how little basic knowledge about contracts there is on here. If you sign a year lease with no provision to break that lease then you still owe the rental for the year. Walking away and losing your deposit has no baring on that and the landlord is able to take legal action to recover the remaining years rent. Whether a landlord can be bothered to do that is another matter.

Singha and Thai Bev would bribe and lobby to introduce a new rule.

Dont like to agree with MM, but he is 100% right here. Legally speaking if you sign a 1 year contract you are legally obligated to pay for the year, unless there is express provision to the contrary in the agreement. Nearly all agreements say that you will lose deposit if you leave early and the losing the deposit does not prevent the landlord taking further action to enforce the agreement. Whats the point in signing anything more than a month contract if you can just leave and forfeit the deposit. The whole premise of signing a longer contract is to give the landlord more secured long term income and in exchange for that security they will give you better rate. If you can just walk away from that contract it makes it completely meaningless. Of course in reality whether a landlord would bother of going through the courts to pursue the remainder of the year rent is questionable but its certainly legally correct that you owe the monies for the duration of the lease, and walking away forfeiting the deposit does not change that.

Your not a proper boozer if you have beers in your fridge.. get them sunk..

My go to dinner when busy at work and lazy to cook is two sarnies, 1 H&C & 1 S&C, and 2 or 3 burgers. Normally Spicy pork although for some reason its very hit or miss whether they have it, 1 chicken burger and 1 double bacon and cheese. I normally top this off with a large packet of Japanese spicy crips, but cannot remember the name of them,
