Commercial security deposits in Thailand have no statutory cap, unlike residential deposits governed by the OCPB. Terms are freely negotiated between landlord and tenant.
Commercial Bond Process in national
Negotiate Bond
Agree on bond type and amount during commercial lease negotiations.
Collect Security
Receive bank guarantee or cash bond before tenant takes possession.
Hold During Tenancy
Keep the bond securely for the full commercial tenancy duration.
Release or Claim
Return bond at lease end if no outstanding obligations, or make claims for documented breaches.
Deposit Limits
Market Practice
- Office/retail typically requires 3–6 months' rent
- Factories/warehouses may require 6–12 months depending on property value
- Long-term leases may involve higher deposits
Allowable Deductions
Landlords may deduct from the deposit for:
- Unpaid rent
- Damage beyond normal wear and tear
- Costs of removing tenant fit-outs or modifications (if specified in the lease)
- Unpaid utilities and service charges
Return Timeline
No specific statute governs the return timeline for commercial deposits — it must be specified in the lease. Standard market practice is 30–60 days after lease termination.
Best Practices for Landlords
- Define deposit terms clearly in the lease — Amount, return conditions, timeline
- Prepare a property condition report before and after occupancy
- Specify a deposit return deadline in the contract
- Keep all receipts for repairs and deductions
