    When to Use

    When you own rental property in Thailand and need someone to manage tenants, maintenance, and collections — especially useful for absentee foreign owners.

    Key Clauses

    Scope of Services

    essential

    Tenant sourcing, rent collection, maintenance coordination, accounting, and legal compliance (TM.30 filing).

    Management Fee

    essential

    Typically 8-15% of gross rental income. Specify if inclusive or exclusive of marketing costs.

    Financial Reporting

    essential

    Monthly statements showing income, expenses, and net remittance to owner.

    Authority Limits

    essential

    Maximum expenditure the manager can authorize without owner approval (e.g., THB 5,000).

    Insurance & Liability

    recommended

    Manager must maintain professional indemnity insurance. Liability limits for negligence.

    Termination

    essential

    Notice period (typically 30-90 days). Handover of keys, documents, tenant contacts, and deposits.

    Warnings

    Ensure the manager files TM.30 for foreign tenants — failure is YOUR liability as owner.

    Get references and verify the management company's track record before signing.

    Ensure separate bank account for rental income — never commingled with manager's funds.

    Professional Legal Assistance

    When a matter involves investigation, arrest, detention, litigation, or regulatory action, professional legal representation becomes essential.
