Do I have to pay my landlord a fine for not notifying them of my travel when applying for a non-O visa extension?

it stops the fine, as I stated he goes back to his landlord and gets a new TM30 which will then match his lease and can be used for his EoS.

Pete *******

Just book the cheapest hostel you can find (under 500 baht) check in, ask for a copy of their TM30 filing. You are now up to date, go back to your Landlord and request new TM30, no fine.

What is the best visa for a 72-year-old UK national planning to retire in Thailand before selling a business?

Non O based on marriage. If you are remitting the proceeds of your business sale into Thailand make sure you do it while you are non tax resident otherwise you could get clobbered by the Thai taxman.

Do I need to file a new TM30 when returning to my condo on a Retirement O Visa after being out of the country?

Pete *******

Legally yes, every time you change address. Enforcement however is patchy and dependent on your local immigration department interpretation of the law.
