ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello to all! I intend to apply for the Non O visa, leading to a retirement visa. My problem is that the landlord whom I stay with has dificulties to help me producing the relevant required documents on residence. What you can suggest me do? Change to another apartment? Any other solutions? Has anyone come to the same problem before? Thank you for your attention.

Had the same issue earlier this year. Arrived on a 90-day non-O and went to Jomtien immigration office to get a residence certificate in order to open a bank account. They asked for all of the documents you mentioned but I could only present the rental contract. Gave up. Moved condo and will try again next winter with a new landlord

First of all, the non-O IS the retirement visa.

Second, what is the issue? A lease and a TM30. Those aren't complicated things and infact the TM30 is a legal requirement of your landlord.
