Is it necessary to pay 1,600 baht for a TM30 filing due to a previous landlord's negligence?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Question: I need to file a TM30 for my new apartment in Pattaya, which I rented for a month, so that I can later do my 90-day report. My previous accommodation here did not file a TM30 for me.

Now, the agent for my new apartment says that since there is no TM30 for my previous Pattaya apartment, the apartment owner needs 1,600 baht to file it now for my current residence. Supposedly, this may be to prevent immigration from asking questions about the missing TM30 from before but I'm not sure.

Is this a scam or standard practice? Does immigration really check this and require a full TM30 history for the entire stay to file a tm30 in Pattaya? What do you think I should do in this situation?
