And if that happened in Thailand there'd be almost no renters, and many more empty houses.

Because many Thai renters don't have work references, rent references or banking/credit histories.

Then why would you rent to them ? Personally, I’d ask for photocopies of passport, a decent deposit, and photos of every room and appliance  on moving in day. No payment rent, evict, cut off electricity and water and visit them every day. If you are correct and nothing to hide it should be no bother. I rented a fabulous penthouse for 4 months which was for sale. I was happy with the conditions and documents signed as it was a great place. I never regretted and neither did the owner.

in India the deposit has always been 10 months during the more than a decade I was there

What has India got to do with this?

Most Thais don't rent rooms with appliances ..... maybe an old fridge.

But generally landlords rent because they want money.

And western foreigners aren't significant as tenants.

Plenty of potential Thai customers.

Then, 30 April but fled the scene without notice, leaving air conditioning units and lights running.
