TLDR : Answer Summary

When facing issues obtaining a Tabien Baan from a landlord who is overseas and uncooperative, consider short-term alternatives like renting a cheap condo temporarily to facilitate visa extensions. Additionally, assess your lease situation and your rights regarding deposit refunds if you decide to stop paying rent.
