Hello guys,
In 2026 I will surely apply for the DTV VISA but for the year 2025 I only plan to stay 6 months in Thailand.
How do you manage to rent for 6 months?
I have the impression that it's an obstacle course. 99% of landlords only want a minimum one-year contract.
For those of you who have been able to rent for 6 months, how did you manage?
My agent have recommended that I rent for 1 year, but he'd find me a renter at the end of the 6 months.
Do you have any advice?
Thanks in advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
Renting for a short term in Thailand, particularly for 6 months, can be challenging since most landlords prefer 12-month contracts. However, several community members suggest that negotiating a 6-month lease is possible, albeit usually at a higher monthly rate. Renters are encouraged to inquire about shorter contracts, offer a one-month deposit, and consider finding rental options in local marketplaces or communities. Some shared experiences indicate that while it may seem like an obstacle course, flexibility, negotiation skills, and exploring various platforms can yield suitable rentals.
