Asking for a friend I wish them good luck with that procedure no landlord will comply with this they will take it back and photo the whole procedure so there no drama from the tenant and then the tenant has to take the action if they can't afford to pay the rent, I am sure if they can't afford a lawyer or the translators they need to proceed with a case, or the months needed. I'm also sure the judge will have the same comments can't pay the rent but can waste money on court cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over and out That's fair enough, but if the law does not cover a particular area of a topic, then there would be no law to follow and (in this instance) landlords could write what they want. We need to see what the actual law states on this particular topic. It may be clear, it may not be clear on this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asf6 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 The following appears to be part of the law on renting property in Thailand. Thai Law Translation Civil and Commercial Code 'rent of property' Section 560. In case of non-payment of rent, the letter may terminate the contract. But, if the rent is payable at monthly or longer intervals, the letter must first notify the hirer that payment is required within a period not less than fifteen days. https://www.samuiforsale.com/other-miscellaneous/translation-thailand-lease-law.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make a claim, it's up to you to back it up with supporting evidence. It's not true until proven false. Of course all the landlords and all the condo management offices that seal doors for non-payment of rent COULD be wrong and not following the law. But then again, since when is following the (alleged) law part of doing business in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool Lou Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) 13 hours ago, d4dang said: after being late with rent about two months I paid one month and promised to pay in full in two weeks. I then found a note on my door saying I would be locked out in 7 days. Is this legal? Read your lease agreement. If it is not specified, the owner, obviously, can give you notice to leave for not paying the rent, why should he risk allowing you to stay when you've already shown that you're not a good rent payer?
