  1. There is nothing wrong with the system. It never takes more than 24 hours to get an answer either. The only problem is guys try to use it with a browser that is not compatible, such as safari and also they make a mistake on the info they input.
  2. It amazes me how people put millions of baht on the line to buy a house or a condo and are too cheap to seak legal advice to get the right info. Therefore, relying on a bunch of sofa lawyers sitting back in the UK in a pub or a retired guy in Pattaya.that troll the forums when they are bored. For god sake, call a lawyer.
  3. Oh my god. I have never seen anything like this before in my life. This is what I read here. A few say get a lawyer. Most say don’t because it’s too expensive or they won’t help you because they’re lazy. One guy sending the OP to consumer protection with no Thai language support saying they have free lawyers. Then one bloke writes a book about how he knows an immigration officer who saved his ass on a business deal. One thing we do know is that if anyone living in a foreign country has issues, they should not be doing these types of things alone. However, in the end, the ops situation has somehow miraculously solved itself!!! Good job to all the sofa lawyers. Here’s to a job well done. No lawyer will make one Baht and the world is still safe.????????????
  4. I have sent you a DM but you seem intent on dealing with what you think is a serious issue without proper legal advice. Relying on a forum full of sofa lawyers will not get you any further ahead.
  5. I know a company that will review the lease, send a legal notice to the landlord and call on behalf of the client for a monthly membership fee of 795 Thai baht with no obligation to keep the membership. Of course there are also other benefits and many do keep it after their original issue is resolved. So, your assumption may be partially correct, but not 100%. Do some research and you will find good lawyers and companies to deal with things like this for reasonable fees.
  6. I’ve sent you a DM these types of disputes are often handled by consumer protection. Check your DM.
  7. I’m not assuming anything, as my message to the OP outlined the alternatives as well. However you assumed that you can’t terminate a lease before the end in Thailand under any circumstances without losing your deposit and you were wrong. So give your head a shake mate.
  8. What a ridiculous comment? You don’t know the law. Why even bother posting? Landlords with five or more residential properties will now fall under the Consumer Protection Bureau’s definition of a contract controlled business. The Contract Committee issued the“Notification of the Contract Committee Re: The Stipulation of Residential Property Leasing as a Contract-Controlled Business B.E. 2561 (2018)” and it was published in the Government Gazette on February 16, 2018. The new regulations will take effect on May 1, 2018. One of the new laws is the following: The lessee has the right to terminate the lease agreement early with a minimum of 30 days advance written notice given to the landlord.

One of the new regulations is: The lessee has the right to terminate the lease agreement early with a minimum of 30 days advance written notice given to the landlord. Therefore, show your lease to a lawyer to confirm there is no clause about termination in your contract. Seems odd there is not. If the landlord has less than 5 properties for rent, it’s all down to your contract. Also how many months deposit did you give? These guys that have commented actually have no idea what they are talking about. Dangers of posting these types of legal questions in a forum. Speak to a lawyer unless the deposit amount is under 10,000 Baht, as that would not be worth fighting over and let’s take a look at what the termination clause says in your contract. The lawyer can also confirm the landlord’s property status.
  10. Oh have you used one of the other services I mentioned and they were not accurate? I hope so. Because if not then you are just talking nonsense. And we all know that nobody on here does that right? Also, I’m curious to understand why websites such as this one should provide things like this? They only provide the forum and you can read thousands of posts and answers on one topic. If that’s what you want to do, so be it.
  11. I do know that’s what it is about because I was the one that posted about 2 examples of companies that will teach you and guide you on how to do everything so you don’t have to hire an agency.
  12. What’s not legal if you have the money and want an agency to help you skip the line or do your paperwork? Again your logic is twisted.
  13. You are not that well versed in the visa agent fees is have been quoted 20k for a retirement visa extension if you have the 800k. It’s more like 6-10 k plus the 1900 baht. Don’t spread these rumors that aren’t accurate. 20k++ os the fee if you don’t have the 800K. However, some would still pay it to keep their 800K plus where it is and not in a Thai bank. Think
