30 Pattaya hotels closed for not having licences

there is little that we can do according to our lawyer.

The committee could start by getting a better lawyer.

It takes a two-pronged approach. While pushing City Hall to punish the landlord via the Hotel Act, the condo can also take action directly by invoking the condo's bylaws which prohibit operating a public business from interior rooms.

Grey area. A condo owner, such as myself, has a right to rent his unit, but of course within the law(nothing in our bylaws about short term rentals). Enforcing the Hotel Act in my project is problematical as I sense most coowners don't share my view (or yours). I don't want to be a snitch with uninvited consequences.

The biggest incentive to snitch on condo owners who rent out their units short-term in violation of the Hotel Act lies with - surprise, surprise! - hotel businesses that dislike the competition.

It wouldn't be difficult to identify them and there are some condos that have no shame and rub your nose in the dirt. View Talay 2, for example, has Phil Christy and Tic's Nightly Rentals which blatantly ignore the law. At least in my project, the agents only advertise rentals > 30 days.

"nothing in our bylaws about short term rentals"

As mentioned, there is usually a rule against running any business from an interior unit that results in members of the public entering the condo.

This is way too vague........Knowing what local government entity to large an anonymous complaint with might be a better way.

I can see it both ways. While I would imagine most condo owners actually living there wouldn't want short term rentals turning their condo into what would be tantamount to a hotel, the advantage to short term rentals would be if a tenant is causing problems, at least you know he'll soon be gone.

Where I live most of the renting is done by the day. I would also veture to guess alot of the hotels around Sunee Plaza that cater to Arab scum are illegal.

There are three groups of coowners; residents like myself that don't want to see their residence turned into a hotel, absentee owners who rent and only care about their return on investment, and finally the developer who hopes to sell unsold units. Most coowners who rent want a stable long-term renter but with the economic and real estate market in a downturn they must depend high season vacationers to survive.

In any of the offices that rent out condos daily or weekly have you ever seen a credit card machine, I think not, all that CASH.....no one can really tell what is going on or who is doing what.
