Owner keeps Deposit and asks to me to pay utilities?

It must have been quite the house to have paid 150,000 baht deposit! Did you stay to the end of the lease term? If so, you are entitled to get your deposit back, less the cost of any repairs and outstanding bills. Go to a lawyer and sue for your money back.

They can not keep your deposit and force you to pay outstanding bills!

You don't live in Bangkok do you? OP they should def not keep your deposit. I just moved out of my old place into a new one and deposit was returned less the last electricity bill. Also, they had told me when I moved in I had 6 picture hooks they would install and repair before charging me.

Hell, I paid less deposit than that when I had a yuppie (remember them?) flat 50 metres from Tower Bridge in Central London costing GBP 2,500 a month in rent. At least I knew it would be paid back and it was.

What were you thinking agreeing to that?

What? He was thinking he had to pay his deposit.

He's on the wrong board. Is there another for people who work here with jobs who aren't teachers?
