Thai Lady Needs Advice

[raybingham]

A friend of my Thai girlfriend is looking for basic advice on what to

do/where to go regarding an issue involving her ex-Farang boyfriend.

Land was bought in the girl's name and house building was funded bt

boyfriend. The usual 20 year lease, at 20,000 Baht per month, was signed

in favour of the boyfriend.

By the time the house was completed the couple has split up and the

girl asked for some financial compensation for the

relationship/over-seeing the house build.

This was rejected by the boyfriend who offered nothing.

Does she have any legal recourse against the ex-boyfriend and/or can

she make any claim for payment of the 20,000 Baht per month due, but

never paid, under the lease.

She has limited means and is worried about incurring legal expenses

with no guarantee of getting a positive result.

I am sure that is a fairly common problem - can anyone provide simple advice ?

Normally a lease is a lump sum payment.

I would have thought if the lease is Bt20k a month she is entitled to it.

And of course she is entitled to the land at the end of the 20 years.

Again odd they should have chosen 20 instead of 30 year lease structure.

No need to double post. I've already moved the original thread to a more appropriate forum. This forum is not the appropriate place, it is not for legal discussions about owning land.
