Khon Kaen: Rental house trashed after woman asked to live there with her pit bull

 

Picture: Dalily News

 

A landlord in Khon Kaen was happy to rent his 3 million baht house to a seemingly respectable woman who paid 8,000 baht a month rent and was always on time with bills. 

 

The Khon Kaen university employee had asked if she could have her pit bull terrier there - the landlord said that was fine. After all, there was plenty of room in the garden. 

 

Contact continued by phone and Line over a year until the woman stopped paying. The landlord smelt a rat when he was blocked on Line messaging. 

 

When he got to his property to inspect he smelt something else. 

 

Dog pooh everywhere. 

 

The entire house had been trashed and the renter and her pet had disappeared. 

 

Windows, walls and floors were all ruined throughout the house. 

 

Now the landlord of the house in Sila sub-district, Piyapong Butso, has gone to the Khon Kaen police to seek damages for the repairs that have run to 300,000 baht. 

 

The police have summonsed the renter to face the music.

Dont see the relevance of "Pitbull" to the facts, as "dog" would have sufficed.

 

The dog wasnt responsible for the rent.

The dog probably wouldnt have made a mess if he had been taken care of properly.

A pitbull can do more damage than say a Yorkshire terrier,and

a Yorkie has much smaller poops,and it sells the story better

with Pitbull in the title.

Other than crapping their is no evidence the dog did any damage.

 

The property appears unfurnished.

Maybe the dog ate all the furniture.

Probably started on the easy bits - ate the chairs legs and sofa arms first.

Meanwhile Pitbull is back in the US making music and selling records.

What does a landlord think a dog will do all day while the ( single ) owner is at work?

[Snow Leopard]

Had the same happen to me in the UK 10 years ago. Spent my holidays cleaning up dog shit, painting and fitting new carpets. Along with 10 months unpaid rent and the legal fees to get the pikeys ousted. 

 

I did get most of the money back though. Rent Insurance, Contents Insurance and I took the letting agent to court as well for not doing proper due diligence. They settled outside of court. 

 

So I feel sorry for the guy. I was 3500 miles away at the time so I could not do regular visits. I guess he could have but it doesn't seem a Thai thing to do. The owner has not checked our Condo in 3 years in Bangkok.

You don't happen to own a pitbull, by any chance?

Nope, and never have or would, not my type of dog. ????

 

Just dont believe in "dissing" an entire breed for no apparent reason.

Yeah, a couple of my Thai friends had something similar happen in Phitsanulok... but there were no dog involved then, only 2 French men.
They rented out their house and was payed every month for over a year, then all of a sudden... no payment. So after a month calling and talking with them over the phone with promises about the payment the lady in the family (my coworker) asked me to go with her (as her husband was working in Chang Mai at the moment) both as company (150km from where we were working) and to translate if needed. We got there and the house was locked up, no answer on the phone and when we finally got in contact with the school where the French guys worked, then we were informed that they had been fired a month earlier...
I will just say that my friends had to pay about 500,000 just to repair the house, then add costs for furniture and everything else in the house and finally they also lost over 6 months rent as the the French guys hadn't payed and it took months to repair and fix up the house again. And to be honest... the house in this article seems to be in way better shape than my friends house was as wooden floors and broken water pipes don't mix that well...

In the end my friends couldn't get any money back from the French guys as they had already left Thailand, and the French embassy just say that they can't do anything to help.

if there is no furniture missing 300.000 bath damage  sounds a bit over the top.

I have 2 American bull dogs if you are responsible you can keep the house in top shape but you must keep after them!

Lot of guys make money in rentals but scenes like this one are not worth  the trouble to me. Was a Nice house for 8,000 baht rent.
