The TM 30 again Owner of property not helping

[brianthainess]

Hope this is the correct forum; My friend has now got a new lease on a house in another province and paid the money. He will be moving in Aug 1st, he will soon need to renew his marriage extension, the problem he has now is that the landlady is not answering the phone or text, he has sent a photo of the TM30 to her and she has been told copy of blue book  and ID are needed. please bear in mind he is very disabled and can not go anywhere alone. his wife does not seem to understand the urgency and doesn't seem to want to help him, he is left alone all day while she works. Any advice for him would be helpful. I have suggested all he can do is go to immigration and tell them and maybe they can phone the owner, what else could he do ?

He could do the TM30 report as the tennent.

Is a copy of the owners house book and ID card attached to the lease?

No  but it does give the owners present address.

Especially foreigners should insist on getting a signed house book and id card copy when signing the contract and before paying any money.

Now it's obviously too late for this... I would suggest that he just prepares everything he can (completed TM30 form, copy of passport, copy of rental contract) and takes this to immigration the day after he moved in. Maybe that's sufficient and there isn't an actual problem.

If they insist on the house book explain the situation to them and ask them to help. I think it's reasonable to expect that they can call the landlord and tell him to show up at the office with the required documents.

If they are unhelpful i would just go the official way: File a police report because the landlord doesn't report a foreigner staying at his property.

This is very helpful advise to all make sure you get those copies before signing, not on the promise I'll give them to you later. Good news is now the owner has made contact and will "do it today" ????

OP, the situation is also dependant on the requirements of the local immigration office. Maybe mention the immigration office your friend will be using, people can maybe advise the local requirements. There are still offices that dont worry much about TM30s or will allow the tenant to lodge with just a rent receipt etc.

I do marriage extensions in Jomtien and although they want a big pile of documents, a TM30 isn't one of them.

It may also just be a case of paying a TM30 fine and the marriage extension will go ahead.
