Is a police report valid instead of a TM.30 for reporting a foreigner's residence in Thailand?

The original poster asked if a police report provided by their landlord could be used instead of completing the TM.30 form, which is required for reporting a foreigner's residence in Thailand. Comments suggest that while a police report might provide some information, it is advisable to complete the TM.30 directly with immigration to ensure compliance, especially when transitioning between different visa types.
