"""The lessee has the right to terminate the lease agreement early with a minimum of 30 days advance written notice given to the landlord.""" https://www.duensingkippen.com/thailandpropertylawblog/?p=364

unfortunately it has been vacant for 3 years and I don't see any luck of finding another tenant in some days. the price is just nuts 25k baht a month

thank you. I think topic closed then, thank you,

the rent's 25k ???? actually 30 if you factor in 5k for electricity... (ac)

Thank you, but i don't understand then, They can't whitheld the deposit for tear caused due to time but it's criminal to cause damage? and how else would damage occur that is not due to time (wear) that would allow for the security deposit to be whitheld?

I'm learning this the hard way too.. my question tho is if can they call the police for damages if the deposits are actually there for damages?

5 or more properties, not whole condos, and my knowledge is that they do own and rent out multiple properties since this property was vacant since 3 years and they would rather keep it vacant than rented for less and have an agency that manages rental only for them, i can't see anyone that doesn't own dozens of property be able to not care about a single property being rented.

I understand your thone but it's because the understanding is wrong either yours or mine on the topic, and i'd be happy to change my view, this is why i signed up here anyway. It's unlawful because the thai law states (as i found out later) that they cannot require 2 upfront monthly deposits and 1 monthly rent advance. There is a max of 1 security deposit and 1 month advance as in I have requested a refund of one and they denied it. in regards to the contract and lease term, the law states that it's possible to break the lease lawfully if over half of the period has been completed independently of what the contract states as long as i give 30 days notice (that i gave). correct me if i'm wrong. I don't go around destroying property for fun, I have followed the rules and im getting scammed by my understanding, its just right they don't get to pocket the money but have to spend the money thats supposedly deposited for damage for actual damages. if my understanding is wrong then i'll accept it, thats why im here, not to brag or something.

Isn't the security deposit there to pay for damages? I just want to make sure they don't pocket it. with the inconvenience of having to take it out and get new one, it will be a lesson that next time they might just as well give it back as it is the law and don't <deleted> around.

So, I gave notice to break lease for different reasons but the company that manages the rental even refuses to let the owner know about my request to get the deposits back, as well as told me that he will say no for sure. I know i'm legally not allowed to steal appliances off the apartment to make back my loss that im legally owed, but I think I'm legally allowed to break the furnitures up to a total cost of my deposit, just to make sure, am I correct? I didn't know at the time but the deposits are unlawful too, I have paid 2 upfront security deposits and 1 month advance rental payment for a total of 75000 baht, 50000 of which are the 2 deposits they refuse to give me back.
