Yep! Thorough cleaning to include screen and glass doors and windows after everyone leaves. Forget to mention that I also pay every month for my yardman to take care of the yards during their stays. It’s a complimentary to help saving their time, cost, and effort.

As a landlord, I usually ask for one month rent in advance plus two-month deposits. There’re a few reasons for that. (1) A tenant has to inform us one month in advance before moving out so he doesn’t have to pay the rent for his final month. (2) There will always be 2,000THB cleaning deposit and pending water/electric bills after the tenant moved out. I normally ask for the tenant’s bank account number so I can transfer back the remaining balance of his deposit. Not sure how other landlords do it.

thank you. I think the will can eventually finalized everything.

Aww! Maybe I need to reconsider joint bank account. I asked because I have seen worse case scenario from a bank side. If the account holder died, it’s very hard to retrieve the funds out of the deceased’s account. The bank will try to hold it as long as possible. Even your next to kin can’t get it easily.

Maybe the best solution is to get an ATM code out of your loved one.

I think that’s the easiest approach too. I’ll take him to open Thai bank account as soon as we get settled in. I already arranged a caregiver, driver, and yardman. It can help creating jobs for the Thais too.
