Your Two Months Rental Deposit

[JimHuaHin]

I rented a high-end condo on Sukhumvit, Bangkok for 7 months (on a monthly basis agreement) back in 1997.  I informed the management 2 months in advance that I would be checking out on date x.  Upon checkout, the management informed me that they were waiting for approval from the owner to return my 2-months deposit, and would send me a cheque.  It never arrived.

 

I rented a house in Hua Hin starting about 11 years ago; about 5 years ago the house sold.  The new owner, a farang, from a small northern European country, who wanted to move into the house with his family, drew up a new lease permitting me to stay for a few months while I searched for new accommodation.  No damage was done to the house, and I paid for house cleaning upon departure.  The new farang owner claimed there was damage to the house facilities, which he could not identify (the house was in exactly the same condition when he inspected the house prior to purchase), so he only repaid half my 2-months deposit.
