"In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king"
I didn't know people gave deposits in Thailand with the hopes of actually getting the deposit back. That's news to me.

...for a change i agree with matt
Strange! After all the years living in Pattaya knowing so many expats who rent and myself now renting for the past 4 years I have never heard of a failure to return monies due after initially agreeing to the terms of the lease. As I recall you did a runner from the immigration police after you overstayed your visa so if you ran before the end of the lease did you really imagine getting back your initial deposit?

MFAS you can be quite funny at times, but this is not the way to treat a blind person.
I've rented 5 properties (condo's/apartments) over a 17 year period before buying my own place and always had my security deposit returned.
What's more common than people getting ripped off of their deposit money - are renters who stop paying their monthly rent until they're forced out - putting the property owner at a loss.
Like you, I have never heard of a farang getting ripped off of his deposit money.
I have rented from 3 different landlords and never a problem to get deposit back.
