Real Estate Leasehold, Lease and Tenancy laws

Leasehold in Thailand
The lease (tenancy) agreement

Lease or rent of land, house or condominium apartment unit for residential purpose by foreigners is governed by civil and commercial code sections 537 to 571. Foreigners are under Thai law allowed to lease real estate property for up to 30 years and the law is applied in the same manner if the lessee is a foreign or Thai national. When the lessor is a business operator under Thai law (renting out 3 or more residential properties), the tenancy is in addition governed by a 2018 (update 2025) residential tenancy regulation issued under consumer protection laws.
