What does the lease agreement actually mean. Does it give you the sole right to live in the property if the relationship fails or your both still living there?. Does it mean that you have the sole right and she needs to find alternative accommodation.?

Lee Greenwood. Depends whose name is on the lease.

If you want to live there until you die, better to have a usufruct registered on the title deed. It remains irrespective of who the owner is Paul ********

yep and all that sits on it. 1 st rule in Thailand don’t build a house but if you do arrange a lease so you can live there until you die.So if your 60 have her sign a 30 year lease so you live there rent free and she can’t sell it
