How can I contact my landlord directly if the agent is blocking communication?

Could set the place on fire see who complains the loudest.

Landlords (I'm one) often have agreements with agents that prohibit that. Also, the landlord may not want direct contact with tenant, which is why they are using an agent in the first place.

You can reach out to the owner. If you were my tenant and you bypassed my agent I would tell you to vacate by the end of the lease term if you didn't want to deal with the agent.

Be prepared for backlash.

Are you renting condo? Basically, agent will get one month commission if tenant signs up for one year lease. After one year lease, if tenant wants to renew the lease, agent will only get half month commission. Therefore, some agent will find the new place for tenant in the same place to get more commission.

Get a copy of your "landlord's" house book and ID card with signature. You probably don't have a valid contract if this can't be supplied.

Go Land Office pay small money

It’s more likely that she is just doing her job. The landlord pays her commission and this includes her role as intermediary between landlord and tenant so that the landlord doesn’t have to deal with tenants directly. However, you may request a meeting with the landlord if you feel the need to, tho the landlord may decline. Usually the agent will try to convince you to sign the contact through her so she can get a commission. If you go to the landlord directly, the agent won’t get paid. Some landlords might also like to deal directly with their tenants as it means they don’t have to pay agents and can save money.

The jurisdic office always has the owners contact info, if the owner is in Thailand.

Do note that depending on the agreement between the landlord and the agent, the landlord might not be able to help you. Again, this depends on their agreement. For example, if I am an agent I would have made a contract that prohibits the landlord from being in contact or dealing with the tenants that I found for them directly otherwise it defeats the purpose of having agents.

However, if the agreement between them was just for the agent to find the tenant and then transfer all the responsibility over to the landlord once the client agreed to rent then it's a bit of a wonder why you do not have the landlord's contact details.

In any case, if you'd like to get in touch with the landlord, try the juristic person first. They usually have the contact details.

If you used agent to find the room.. and you are happy about the service ...

Would be fair to deal with him ..

Really not fair to try to contact the landlord. .

Also, again .. if agent doing a good job ...

It's a warranty for you to continue to use his services ..

And if landlord also respect the work of his agent ..

He should never contact you or let him deal with you directly ..

Real estate agent get commission for the work they are doing .. and his duty is to follow up his clients and protect you

In Thailand today..just say your'e moving. Quote the legal article re: security deposit return. ...The owner will be their next day begging you to stay with a reduction in your rent.,

The landlord hire a agent to not got headache from the people she or he not want to deal with . From day 1 u accept this rental contract u accept also to deal issues with the agent

If the landlord hires an agent, he's probably not interested to deal with you.

Hold out on the renewal she is after.commission

If you're in a condo complex, ask the Juristic Officer for his contact number. You have the right to it.
