Where? Thailand's a big place. I rented a serviced condo no problem yesterday. I'm in Chiang Mai, and I'm a dirty farang.

Yes, but how dirty? ????

Some places like Seattle have banned evictions till the Corona is over how ever long that might be...

The state of California is encouraging cities to do that. No evictions for non-payment of rent and no rent increases. Courts are closed anyway.

Last time I checked the MoPH's nationalities breakdown, Thai nationals account for 70-80% of all 1100+ confirmed COVID cases in the country thus far. Foreign nationals other than Chinese were just a couple dozen all combined.

You're fabricating a farang  imaginary scenario and then questioning the sense  of Thais? At least base your mindless Thai bashing on something you haven't  concocted..

 

 

Really so  hows  that fabrication looking to you  now  then?

why are they only interested in foreign tenants?

If you've ever rented out a condo you will know why.

Our Juristic Committee have banned owners from reletting if tenants move out until further notice. Great idea. Think about it

They don't actually have that power. The only thing they could do is not sign the letter the LO wants but then if it's legally challenged the JP would lose.
