Things to be careful about when renting a condominium in Thailand 8/5
This is also my failure story. I found a condominium that I wanted to live in, so I visited the condominium, contacted a major real estate agent in Bangkok who had advertising flags and business cards at the reception on the first floor, and took a look at the room.
I was shown to a room that was about 5,000 Thai baht more expensive than the room I was looking at on Renthub, and the real estate agent assured me that this was the only room available at the moment.
Through rent negotiations, I was able to lower the price by about 2,000 Thai baht. However, the price was actually higher than the price advertised online because I was told a higher price than the advertised price.
I didn't know this because it was my first time using a Thai real estate agent, but in Thailand, the owner's position is strong and the tenant's position is very weak. And the Thai real estate agent lied as much as he wanted because he could not be held legally responsible.
I repeatedly confirmed with the real estate agent that I would sign the contract if the conditions were met. He can do it again and again. However, the day after I paid the deposit and signed the contract, it was decided that there were no conditions. The owner's mood changed and he couldn't do it anymore. But I couldn't get my money back. A major Thai real estate agent. Therefore, if you are planning to rent a condominium in Thailand, please do not pay a deposit until the day you move in. Have the terms and conditions negotiated when renting a room written in the contract. Be sure to include the terms in the contract
Real estate agents will urge you to pay the reservation deposit immediately, but you should not pay until the owner does what was agreed upon during the negotiation. This is because even if the owner does not comply with the terms, the money will not be returned. The real estate agent is not responsible. I hope that no one will be deceived into taking their money through a scam in which a Thai real estate agent and owner took advantage of Thai law.
Don't believe the word of a real estate agent.
