BigJohnson Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 My landlord lied and said that the building I was renting in was sold and gave everyone a 90 day eviction notice. Some of the people living in the building (who had one year leases) had just moved in a month before they got the notice. Does anyone know what the law is regarding landlords breaking rental leases and evicting tenants? I know that In the states, the landlord would have to pay for the moving costs, etc. for breaking the lease; is it the same here? Thanks in advance for any advice.

BigJohnson Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 I understand that my lease still stands, but everyone was forced to move out under duress; including us. Also the landlord/owner who said that the building had been sold is demanding rent money be paid to her, not the new owners for the last month we lived there and when I asked for an invoice she refused. Do I have any legal recourse against her? BTW she also kept my deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabeachbum Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 did you have a gun to your head while you paid rent after moving out and forgot to get the deposit back? sorry couldnt resist seems to me you moved without being evicted by the court, so volunteerly you could always try to get your deposit back, but deposit is often less than a court case cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electricity and water was turned off for hours a day, people coming into the apartment when we were not there, etc. And guess what? The police do not do anything, shocking isn't it? BTW I say that with extreme sarcasm. It looks like that my legal options are limited, thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Unfortunately your legal options are always limited here in Thailand, since no lawyer will work on a contingency basis and with the way the system works your loss would have to be really substantial (over 100,000THB) to even think about going to a Thai court We all love the freedom that Thailand offers us expats, unfortunately, that freedom comes at a personal cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wake up on the wrong side of bed? A timeless saying, "when you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all" but i guess you have nothing better to do with your life than troll the internet. Aren't you a little old for for such childish games? You know it doesn't cost that much here to have that stick surgically removed, might wanna give that a thought...

kelsgrenier Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 My post wasn't just directed at him. It seems on every post theres someone who has to come in and be a Butt Head. It doesn't matter who they are or what they've done, he just so happened to get pointed out because after about 6 post of people just being nasty and rude and thinking they are clever and witty, i got frustrated (which wasn't smart but as we all know, 19 year olds aren't really known for keeping their cool) and it was more of a "maybe people can think of what they say instead of trying to make everyone think they're cool and post some smart a** response to something that is a serious matter. " Regardless of what he has done there are so many people that just like to come on and "troll" people. I always thought, If you don't know the answer keep you mouth shut. I don't think they world is made of sunshine and daises but in all honesty, I am so tired of being craped on.
