Yes, I've done some reading and Immigrations attitude does seem to be that if you know your TM30 has not been done you have a responsibility/liability also.

I'm here full time on 1yr retirement extensions.

... live here for a month to decide IF I wanted a rental contract.

You are fulltime here on Non-O Visa without rental contract? 

Fairy tale.

That is certainly an option for a tourist with (for example) plan to go to immigration and obtain a 30 day extension to eg Tourist Visa.

 

No so applicable to someone living in Thailand.

The OP mentions doing 90 day report.

Perhaps even obtaining a residence certificate. 

For this situation best to have a lease or TM30 with address where you are living ongoing. 

 

I don't buy into his rental arrangements.

We rent out couple of condo and townhouse.  

The agent does the TM30 (if required for non Thai tenant) and of course a Lease. 

Our minimum lease is 12 months however a zillion rentals available in Thailand that have much shorter.

 

Bit off topic suggestion to anyone looking for permanent (ongoing) rental. 

We rent apartment in Bangkok. Low rise.

No rooms are privately owned.

We have one year lease.

The place is extremely strict so no sub letting while you are away etc etc.

I couldn't imagine living in condos such as View Talay 6 (Pattaya) or eg Trendy building Sukhumvit.

Those type of places are mad houses. 

 

The OP chose poorly. 

 

Where in Bkk? Looking to change from serviced to ord. rental. While it has been quiet in our bldg. the arrival of Chinese has changed this.

This all bit off topic.

I'm in Phra Ram 9 but that's irrelevant.

My tips for living in Thailand rental wise, not in order.

1. Not highrise.

2. No private ownership.

3. Contract only (no casual rentals) 

4. Strict rules.

5. Not serviced. 

6. Walking access to MRT or BTS. 

7. NO children. 

 

Personal additional. 

No gym. No pool. 

No half half meaning private ownership along with rooms available for tourists.  

You can do it online as a leaseholder.

Sorry, I attempted to upload the link but it has my personal login on.
