Sorry to hear. Tough times tend to trigger incidents like this.

 

I used to sell on eBay, and when the economic crisis of '08 hit, I suddenly got a ton of messages like, "Hey, since you also sell electronics, have you ever worked with or bought from so and so..." I said no, why? Many began taking orders, collecting money, then just running with it. They quit sending out product, probably didn't even have it to begin with. Yet had probably lost their jobs, then got desperate with bills and rent to pay.

 

I was real lucky to have a helpful and supportive condo building manager, and condo unit owner, given one of the worst immigration offices in Samut Prakan. Just to do the change of address and TM30, they made us redo the rental contract several times then wanted to see the chanote. I wouldn't expect an agent to do all that.

Ive seen in Phuket landlords asking for 12 months up front, 

Never seen that in Pattaya, especially in the post Covid times.

The owner is not Thai. But do keep up the misinformation. (Or at least read the thread before posting.)

don't matter who own it, you're not getting your money back, such naïve fool.

I see this thread, like every other on the forum had descended into petty name calling

If you're looking for intelligent conversation, you're going to have to read through a lot of drivel.
