Forced To Leave A House Because Of Noise, My 2 Month Deposit Lost?

[nikkoid66]

Hi,

I have a one year contract in a house with 2 months deposit, but the noise is so bad I cannot sleep or work (6 dogs in the house oposit this house barking at all hour, on fan of custom car playing disco in the day to the point to make your window shake, one kid crying hysterical all the time... etc...)

I have made video and I want to leave the house. The contract say nothing about canceling the contract and the owner want of course to keep 2 months deposit if I leave.

Is there a way so that I do not loose my deposit? Any law about it?

I would think that there will be no way for you to get your deposit back if you did not lodge several complaints with the police regarding the noise. Even if you did lodge the complaints it is likely that you would have to go to court (civil) to get your deposit and there is no guarantee that you would win (I suspect you would not.)

Forget about the deposit - no chance!

Did you decide to rent that property on the spur of the moment?

Sounds like your paying monthly rather than the full year up front. I just squat for 2 months draining out the deposit then move.

Can you sublease to a Karaoke Owner for 2 months?

Making the tenant a target, and it would be easier for the landlord to get action against the tenant if he did that (remember the bar mat thief?)

as the noise described seems legal, police would not accept a report

seems lke you can leave the house without paying for the full year, and loose only 2 months deposit

next time perhaps consider the property and neighborhood more carefully before renting?

In fact when we arrived it was ok, but the house in front bring 4 dogs all of a sudden, one who is barking constantly every night. We try to explain and they yakyak the dog sometime, but this dog is crazy (only 2 legs and acting like stupid)

Then a guy bought the house at the corner, he is fan of custom cars with big disco and is testing his system every week end.

Then the Farang on the side came back from Norway with a kid and the kid has hysterical moment when he cry like when you kill a pig, and the father is beating his Thai wife while breaking stuff in the house.

And now, because of the disco problem, the guy at the left buy a 10,000 Watts system and as soon as the disco guy use his subwoofer's car to shake our windows, the Thai opponent put his sound at max with old Thai classics!

The guy behind us decided to live and all the house around are for sale 50% of their buying price... if someone is interested?

Btw if someone is looking for a place to make parties and make noise, it is the perfect place, no one will complain here. Rent is cheap, house is beautiful. I am doing computing, it is very hard to work (or sleep) with such a neighbourg!<img class="bbc_emoticon" alt="" src="http://static.thaivisa.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/bah.gif"><br><br>
