Crime British Tenant Trashes Pattaya Rental, Landlord Seeks Legal Action
If you were to speak to my current tenats they would tell you that I am a decent and fair landlord. Nowhere did I say that I didn't care about 'fairness and justice'. I suspected that you have no experience of such matters - I'd love to see how long your honesty and integrity would last if you did. Faced with a non paying tenant, who'd trashed your property and was refusing to leave without an eviction notice - you of course would continue to rack up losses wouldn't you? There is no way on this planet that you'd give them a reference to get them out - even if it cost you £ thousands - yeah right, of course you wouldn't because your so upright and honest a real pillar of the community. We are of course talking about Thailand here and I have no idea how the law is weighted regarding landlords and tenants but in the UK its becoming bloody ridiculous. Someone can rent your property, totally trash it and not pay you any rent after their initial payment. You're probably a month out of pocket before you give them notice. They have until the last day of that month to move out and if they don't, only then can you apply to the court for an eviction notice. That takes 2 months minimum so if you are very very lucky you will be 3 months out of pocket less the usual 1 month's deposit plus court fees. And that's if you are very lucky. The process is to issue a section 21 notice - 2 months and only then, if the tenant refuses to leave, can you apply to the courts for a possession order. If the tenants still refuse to leave you have to apply to the court and ask for bailiffs to forcibly evict them. The cost of a possession order for non rent arrears is £404 and considerably higher for non rent arrears. If its ignored you then have to apply for a 'Warrant For Possession' - £148 + the bailiffs fees and on and on. Then, when you finally get your property back you will almost certainly have repairs to do. As I said before, I live in the real world - the last bad tenant I had - it took 5 months to evict them. The court costs were around £800 and they had let their kids draw all over just about every wall in the house. The place was filthy, electric sockets had been pulled out of the walls etc. etc. I ended up over £8000 out of pocket. Would I have given them a reference to get out before they racked up 5 months rent? Damn right I would - and so would you. The difference is that I'm prepared to say I would. -

What Thai bank credit card do you have?
A KTC credit card has this feature to block a card temorary.. The fraud protection is not bad. I only had a problem 1 times till now in about more than 10 years I own Thai credit cards. And this was handled by the bank very fast. I not even need to do something. They canceled the fraud transaction themselve, called me, to make sure this was a fraud transaction and then canceled the card and sent me a new one. Can't complain. -
