@Bhavna,

Thank you for your response.

Have a great day, AS

It all depends on your budget and the location you desire to live in. There is a relatively new concept being run by one of the top real estate agents in Pattaya. Its “rent to own”

send me a message if you require further details of whom to approach and contract details.

Since you already live in Pattaya, you’re in a good position because you can spend time checking places properly rather than rushing. For houses, I’ve found the street and immediate surroundings matter more than the general area — things like drainage, neighbours, dogs, and traffic can vary a lot even within the same neighbourhood.

Getting the best price usually comes down to lease length and timing. A 12-month contract gives you more room to negotiate, especially if you ask upfront about including things like garden or pool maintenance. Always confirm who pays for air-con servicing, pest control, and minor repairs, as those are common hidden costs.

A decent landlord is one who is clear and responsive from the start. Ask to see past utility bills, check that everything agreed verbally is written into the contract, and don’t skip checking the house during or after heavy rain if possible — that’s when build quality shows.

Using an agent can help if they actually know house rentals and not just condos. Some local agencies will walk tenants through these checks so there are no surprises later, which saved me time when I last looked. I used this local Pattaya agency that explains the basics clearly you can check them out :propertyspace
