TM30 - Hi everyone ! What's the fatest and more reliable way to apply TM 30 (in both case, as a foreign owner occupant and as a host for an other expat renting my place)? Thks for your feedback!
Hi everyone. I’m looking to rent a condo for 1 year contract in Bangkok, the area of Phraya Thai. I have had the run around from many Agents and in the end they say the condo has been rented. First thing they ask the price and where I’m from. As soon as I tell them they say that I can increase the price. And after, they charge me booking fees (which is a total of 1 month)even though I say I can put the deposit right away and that I don’t need the booking. I’m very confused, sad, overwhelmed. Does anyone know of an agent that is trustworthy? I need to move out of my airbnb by April 17. Thank you.
Property agent is requesting the 2 months deposit and 1 month in advance rent payment (3 months total) all on the day of signing the lease 1 month before move in date.
I am not questioning the 2 + 1 practice. My question is about timing of the payments.
Is all 3 months typically paid on lease signing or typically 1 month on lease signing and the 2 months deposit paid on handover / move in date?
Moved into new place and I think the homeowner is clueless as to her obligations regarding TM30. Can someone give me some direction on how I can help her to help me so this gets taken care of? I've heard it can all be done online- maybe a link? Thank you.
Hiya folks, I recall someone posting info about property inheritance when a Thai spouse passes away. The law dictates that the house goes to the THAI next of kin and NOT to the non-Thai spouse. Someone posted that it is possible to apply for a document from the local district office to ensure the spouse has permission to live in that property indefinately even though they cannot own it. Cant find that post again. Any information would be most welcome. Not interested in expensive law firms.
Can anyone please recommend a Bangkok condo agent? I know the building I want to move back into and just need someone to source me a unit. Cheers in advance 🍻
