How Can A Farang Create A Legal Rental Contract?

[LittleEiffel]

Just finished building in 2 new condo units and now am getting set to rent them out.

Would really appreciate some advice from someone with experience in managing their condo rentals themselves (no agent)? Irene - I know you are out there - lend us a hand?

In particular, how does one create a legal Rental contract in Thailand. Is it necessary to involve a Thai lawyer?

How enforceable are rental contacts in Bangkok? What recourse does an individual owner have against renters for non-payment of rent/damages, etc.?

Thanks in advance.
