Hi!

I’m in a little bit of a situation and am unable to pay last month’s rent and will be leaving Bangkok already. My lease contract says if I am unable to pay within 30 days, they will lock me out and keep my stuff and auction it, etc. and that my two month’s deposit will be forfeited.

I have left the property already and now the agent and condo office are threatening to call the police and immigration on me unless I settle the balance.

I know it’s an horrible move, but I thought forfeiting 40,000 baht of deposit should be enough to compensate for the last month’s rent, etc.

Question is, can they actually call the police and immigration on me? Contract only says repercussion is forfeiture of deposit.

Also, they have been harrassing my friends who helped me move out and live in the same building that they’d report them to immigration. Can they do that?

Any advice? (Aside from paying the last month’s due, because I really can’t.) Thank you!

I have a 1 year lease in Ladprao. It’s 15k/month, not cheap. We have 3 elevators and 1 freight. 2 elevators have been broken for 1.5 months and occasionally the 3rd breaks for a few days while they panic fix it. I’m on the 28th floor so no elevator is no good.

I’m curious if I can use this to break the lease or make the condo management compensate for the inconvenience. I’m pretty sure the answer is “no you’re sol” but just checking.
