shanesox Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Note: 90% of Thai landlords will keep all or 80% of your one month deposit when you leave- does not matter that you left the rented condo more clean or in better shape than before you moved in. So do not pay for last month's stay. Sorry. but this rip- off scheme has happened to me three out of four land lords. I am use to Western tenants that would be happy if you left the apartment like new... but this is Thailand. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa ConnectNo legal protection.

It seems so many TV are victims of scams. Why is that? I have always gotten back my full "2 months" deposit. I have not heard from 90% of the people that their money was kept. These sites are so full of haters it amazes me. Maybe the place looked like S... and they kept your money. If not, stop the lies......you hate these poeple so much??

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect you need to start using a property agent if deposits are not being returned. just negotiate down from the asking price to help cover the overhead. i have noticed a reluctance to hand over cash at the end, but landlord always seems willing to apply the deposit to last months rent and utilities somehow. something about forking over cash at the end i think it's a face thing, not sure.

That price you see on the street advertised is from the builder, Sansiri. If you go online and search rentals here, you can get a one bedroom for less from a private owner. Maybe less more with low season. I love the place new construction only just over a year, great modern wiring wifi and TV are great, security is good, I have a higher unit with an ocean view. I just signed for another year. Some people bad mouth it saying it is too expensive. Whatever, I have lived all over the world this place is pretty darn nice for the price in my opinion. PS: the one bedroom is not large mine is 30 sq mtrs. But, it is more then enough for me living alone. Nice living area I have a 50" TV no problem. Everything is separated pretty efficiently. Rents can vary with condo size, view, high or low floor, outside noise, location on the floor, room decoration, length of rental contract, etc. The Base 1 bedrooms are 30sqm and 35sqm. There's a noticeable difference between the 30s and 35s. The 35s have slightly bigger living rooms and the separate kitchen/dining area is about a foot or so longer--you can open the refrigerator door without hitting one of the dining chairs. The balcony is the biggest difference; it's much longer and you can fit both a washing machine and a dining bistro set for 2 with room left over. With the 30s it's a fairly tight squeeze to fit a lounge chair if you add a washer to the balcony. Some renters might opt for a slightly higher rent to get a bigger balcony, better view, etc.. I agree that The Base has a well-thought out room plan with good use of space--even the 30sqm has a separate, completely private bedroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittenKong Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I've known renters who got their deposit back and also renters who didnt. Seems to be down to the individual agent or owner. Some just seem to try it on systematically. I'm sure that for every tenant who sticks around to report problems there will be 10 who get on the plane to home and never follow them up. Like the people who get gouged by "meter" taxis: how many actually complain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
