Hello,

If you have paid the rent in full (12 months) in advance, then under normal circumstances and provided there is no damage to the property, you should be able to have your deposit returned. In fact, normally the rent would not be paid 12 months in advance, so if you terminated the contact early, (today for instance) all you should lose is your deposit.

A lot obviously depends on what's written in the contact. If you would like my to review the contract for you, then I will be happy to do so, simply send me a direct message and I will respond. I work for a law firm but will do this for you free of charge and I will also advise you of what action (if any) you can take, to recover your deposit.

Best wishes,
Tuenchai
