Picture: Sanook

 

A tenant left a premises in an awful mess and left the landlord owing two months rent.

 

But there was worse - they also spray painted a goodbye message and covered the place in gasoline to go with the mountain of trash that amounted to two truckloads.

 

Netizens after a Facebook post reckoned the tenant and the owner must have had a big bust-up. 

 

A subsequent post by the landlord said that they had rented to a husband and wife for 7,000 baht a month to run a motorcycle repair shop.

 

But then the guy had a car accident and the pandemic hit resulting in the landlord lowering the rent to 5,000 baht. 

 

But the couple split up and the man stopped paying the rent and asked for a delay.

 

The landlord lost patience and told him to leave. The landlord said they had never argued about anything. 

 

After initial reluctance to respond to Line messages the former renter has now offered an apology, reported Sanook.

 

And the landlord has decided to just let it go.

that's a decent equivalent of would could(should) have been paid off rent, now all dripping off the walls, in paint and petrol

looks more like a 2000-3000bht/month rental place to me.

It looks like the message says "Gone already. Kiss"

 

I think on occasion someone in my office takes a dump in the men's room and just walks away to spite the rest of us. Lots of people are like this in the world. Ruining a rental is extreme but there are many more common forms of this in my view. Smoking in a hotel room where you shouldn't. Tossing cigarette butts wherever. Leaving your garbage on the ground where you were parking and driving off. beating on a rental car. Not tipping when you should. Just leaving messes wherever and expecting others to deal with it.

He's got a nicer mirror than my gaffe...

It depends on the location and if we could have seen photos of the place before it was trashed.

 

quote from the OP.

 

"A subsequent post by the landlord said that they had rented to a husband and wife for 7,000 baht a month to run a motorcycle repair shop."  

 

From that it seems to me that it was probably a shophouse, with the apartment over the m/c repair shop.

You basically just described the typical Chinese Tourist in Thailand, only thing missing is spitting.

Saw one of these delightful Chinese today at Korat immigration. The a hole just spat on the ground whilst sitting in front of my daughter and myself in the outside waiting area, mask down waffling away on his phone then just spat on the ground. I abused the ox, straight thru to the keeper.

There are some real pigs on this planet.  

imagine if a farang did that, the police would have found him and thrown him to jail, with a criminal court case for destruction of property

 

I think it happened to one farang a few years ago, over same alleged claims by the owner that some furnitures were broken and went to file a criminal lawsuit that got accepted by the court

By all accounts, Thailand appears to want more just like this one. A lot more.

 

It seems they are having a crisis of sensible. Still, pays your money, takes your choice and they appear to have p|ssed off everyone else. Good job they're the best at everything, I have a feeling they're going to need that.

 

 

Isn't that the way tenants always leave a rental property it's normal

I admire how cool he seems to have taken it. I know if it were me, I'd be fuming. 

And what deposit was paid? 6mths in advance and 6mths deposit wouldn't have covered it. Landlord should have evicted at first sign of problem. Be soft and you will be taken advantage of!

Who does the landlord owe two months rent to?

From afar... that is not an apology.

Lots of freaks like to do stuff in public toilets.  <deleted>ting on the floor, pissing all over the place, wiping boogers on the wall.  I think they get some sort of thrill from knowing that some poor schmuck has to clear it up and no one will know it was them.

I think there was an additional part for motorcycle repairs.

I use to work with a guy like that. He was 'proud' of it and wanted everybody to know...  He was a nice guy, but what a jerk. Really stunk too.

It's not well written. The renter owed the landlord 2 months rent when he left. (but you could read it the other way)

Well, low emotional intelligence and hissy-fits are fairly cmmon these days and it doesn't take much to trigger people regarding their entitlement. Renting a place is pretty black and white really ... pay the rent or leave.

As usual ????????????????

Just imagine the outrage if he were Farang...

"Not tipping when you should." So just when "should" someone tip? Unless  you get something more than the service you are paying for, why should anyone tip? Because America says so?

My Thai wife and rented a few apartments and houses along Sukhumvit road.  They were spick and span when we left, and almost up to march in/out standards for the handover of military married quarters.

 

We left no outstanding bills or rent behind either.

Well, of course, it definitely depends on the country's way of dealing with tips as pay for a job and local culture. Americans are pretty generous and they do often give more than they have to. I guess they just care about people more.  What country do you come from, Possum or are you too cowardly to say?
