Others suggest a more passive approach, letting the landlord initiate the conversation.  What's your experience with lease renewals in Thailand, especially in high-rise buildings?  Sharing your success stories and advice would be incredibly helpful!  Let's discuss common negotiation tactics and how to ensure a smooth transition into another year of enjoying my amazing condo.
