Complete guide: Bilingual Thai Legal Consultation for Individuals, Expats & SMEs
Deposits
Inspect the unit jointly with photos at move-in and move-out; landlords may deduct only proven actual damage.
Unpaid rent and termination
Give written notice per law and contract before terminating; landlords should not cut utilities or lock out tenants, which may create liability.
Eviction suits
If tenants remain after expiry, landlords sue for eviction and enforce the judgment.
Foreign tenants
Landlords must report foreign residents to immigration as required by law.
Mediation
Many disputes settle through court or consumer-protection mediation faster than litigation.
