What should be included in a condo rental agreement?

A condo rental agreement should include the property address, landlord and tenant details (names, Thai ID or passport), rental amount, tenancy period, security deposit, notice period, apartment subletting approval confirmation, occupancy cap, and any special clauses such as a diplomatic clause or pet policy.

Is a tenancy agreement legally required in Thailand?

While not strictly required by law for all rentals, a written tenancy agreement is strongly recommended and practically essential. It protects both landlord and tenant, and must be stamped with Revenue Department within 15 days to be admissible as evidence in court. For apartment subletting, a written agreement is required by Thai law.

How much is the stamp duty for a tenancy agreement in Thailand?

Stamp duty is 0.1% of total rent for leases of 1 year or less, or 0.1% of the average annual rent for leases of 1–3 years. For example, a 1-year lease at THB 25,000/month costs THB 300 in stamp duty. Payable to Revenue Department within 15 days of signing — typically borne by the tenant.

Can I rent out my condo room without a tenancy agreement?

Technically you can, but it is not advisable. A tenancy agreement protects both parties and clearly sets out the rental terms, deposit, and notice period. For whole-apartment subletting, Thai law requires proper documentation and approval. A written agreement is strongly recommended for room rentals too.

What is the minimum rental period for condo rooms in Thailand?

For whole-apartment subletting, the minimum rental period is 6 months. For individual room rentals within an owner-occupied apartment unit, there is no official minimum period set by condo, but most landlords require at least 3–6 months.
