VIDEO: Every landlord’s worst nightmare! Tenants from hell trash luxury Pattaya condo

 

 

A landlord was left in utter shock after discovering tenants had turned their luxury condo in Pattaya into something resembling a rubbish dump - and then disappeared without a trace.

 

Photos and a video of the filthy state of the condo, which is reportedly worth 10 million baht, show large amounts of rubbish strewn across the floor, a broken toilet and curtains pulled from their railings.

 

The photos were shared by Facebook user Jindaporn Ao Amam who is said to be a friend of the owner.

 

 

According to Ms Jindaporn the condo was rented out two years ago to a woman and her two daughters who had up until recently been paying 30,000 baht per month in rent.

 

However, when the rent stopped being paid the owner visited the property only to discover it had been left in a terrible state.

 

The tenants meanwhile had long gone and haven’t been seen since. One of the photos shared to social media showed the tenant in the arms of a western man which people commenting on the post speculated was her boyfriend. 

 

Ms Jindaporn warned other landlords in Pattaya to be careful who they rent property too.

 

Pattaya police are investigating and trying to locate the tenants.

I woman and her two daugthers? Yeah it must be in the line for the rules and regulations of raising and educating your children to grow up to be responsible human beeings.

This is the nature or renting out your hard earned property to someone whom you don't know and with a meager security deposit that barely covers the damages,

many of the tenants are good people, but some are no more than beastly animals, and there is not you can do to safeguard such outcomes from happening to anyone...

[worgeordie]

Been there,our tenants did not only leave a mess,but stole,all

the curtains,3 teak doors,all remotes for A/C,for the electric gate,

the security deposit did not cover the cost to put everything right,

so anyone thinking having  rental properties ,is just about collecting

rent every month,should think again,you are just waiting for the phone

call something else has broken,been blocked,etc,etc.

for gods sake will you wind it in a bit, this is very obviously the exception to the rule

 

all this place now needs is a JCB and a power hose and it will be right as rain 

 

 

2 times now I have had to chastise you Mr lol

Surely tenants must provide copies of ID cards/passports which even Pattaya Plod could track down?

[poanoi]

i dont know how that can even happen,

but if i were to rent out, i think i would include

cleaning in the rent, and i also almost always go

for rooms that have cleaning included now as i rent myself

SOLUTION

Rent to falang only with passport copied.  Too easy.

Being a Landlord requires frequent house checks as well as collecting rent. From my past experience lack of monthly checks can be expensive when tenants remove furnishings and destroy fixtures. 

[markpbfree]

OMG, what kind of people live like that?  Absolutely disgusting.

[anon4637435435]

What kind of idiot pays 30k for a condo per month? Im amazed how people know the cost of everything but value of nothing. Meaning the costs to build these snap together condos is next to nothing per condo. Chicks probably a drug dealer/user.

[Lupatria]

I'm surprised nobody became aware of the explosion...

[connda]

I'm always amazed that there are actually people out there that look relatively 'normal' but border on sub-human.  I can't fathom voluntarily living in conditions like that, no less creating that condition for yourself in the first place.  Nasty! 
I hope the condo owner is successful in catching and prosecuting whoever did that to their property.  Sad. 

[malcoml]

Yeah it is the same in Oz. If you through a decent agent and rent your place at a fair market rate you will get good tenants. When you lift the rent above market rate you only get undesirable that have no other option.

rentals...when its going good, its great ,when it goes south ...it can be a nightmare

The reason I burnt all my bridges and sold my house in Australia before moving to Thailand. I didn't need the headache of non-payers, vandals etc if I'd decided to rent my house.

We get them too in Falang Land but the necessity of flying international acts as a kind human scum filter.

Looks like the outside garden of a normal Thai rural home,  disgusting upbringing with mega % of Thai.

Me too with a house that I had let to a "friend". Kinda suspected something was wrong when I approached the house and seen some of my furniture out in the Soi outside on the footpath. Inside, the white leather sofa had large blue stains where he had been peeing on it while sleeping in his jeans. The rest of the house was thrashed also and the mattresses had to be dumped. He had the nerve to threaten me with the police for entering the house without his permission.(he had stopped paying the rent). All this and I actually had a Farang agent supposedly taking care of things and getting his 10%.

    When you said you needed a crash pad, I didn't think you meant a plane wreck.

Doubtful Plod could work it out if the tenants walked in the station themselves and announced their own actions, I dont have a great deal of faith in this system...

Mortifying. I feel for them, but unfortunately some people are absolute pigs. Surely learning how to spot danger signs at the interview stage is the answer. If I did have an expensive property to rent out, which I don't; the following applicants would be immediately ruled out with extreme prejudice.

 

1. People who are improperly dressed, wife beaters, tank tops etc etc.

2. People who are badly groomed, dirty hair, unshaven etc.

3. Overly obese people. Obviously, they have discipline issues.

4. People with visible tattoos. Don't even respect themselves.

5. People who don't have a regular job. That's going to work in a shirt and tie at 7am, not going to work in underwear at 7pm.

6. People without excellent references.

7. People with large families. Nightmare.

8. Single mum with daughter ok. Single dad with 'daughter', no.

9. Smokers.  Disgusting.

10. Also, take a good look at their car. Is it clean inside, washed, waxed and well maintained? A good sign.

May I ask, how many sisters you have or how many ex wives?

But you are totally right about the sub-humans.  I just wish there were a way to easily distinguish them.   My life would be much better.

Define luxury condo. Looks like a shoebox on a lower floor.

LOL... talk about an idle and useless piece of advice. Like saying "you're going out ? watch that you don't catch a flu" ! I bet these people looked OK when she rented her place to them.

 

This kind of sh*t happens, and we don't know the whole story either. Landlords can be pretty horrible, greedy and dishonest here - I've gone through a personal  experience which made me decide to buy my own place.

 

Maybe these tenants were pigs, but maaaaybe they were getting back at the landlady for some reason. Who knows. It's a fact that some of the visitors to our World Class Family Resort City are not exactly the type who have tea and cucumber sandwiches at the Savoy... A Thai friend of mine who rented his condo in Viewtalay 2 to a Russian family a few years ago went there to check after they left and found FOOD stuck on the ceiling !!  And not just little stains either, these were big lumps of dried chili con carne or whatever the yurk it was ! 

 

If you rent your property you know you're taking a risk. On the whole I bet the percentage of horror stories like this one is quite low, whereas bad behaviour from landlords (refusing to give back the deposit for ridiculous reasons is the most frequent one, so is increasing the rent like crazy) is unfortunately quite common. And I'm talking about Thai landlords here, sorry but facts are facts.

Thats "opinion" not facts, now if you told me you rented out rooms daily to hundreds or thousands of people it would have more sway, from what Ive seen MOST landlords do give back the deposit, its a few who dont and you will always hear of the few never the majority as thats the nature of the beast. 

Wife does this for a job she goes thru hundreds of rooms each year, Id  say 95% get their deposit back, there are a few terrible landlords but she deals with them ONLY once, after that they are dropped.

Some of these  will not pay commission after they have a tenant, or say only half commission  and many of these dont give a crap about tenant or agent who finds them the customer.
