Rent Control Act of 2009 (RA 9653): What Landlords and Tenants Need to Know

Hi jlacosta. The Rent Control Act only applies to residential properties and not commercial properties. If the landlord is not willing to renew the contract then you don’t have any other option but to look for another place for your business. It would be best if you can make an agreement with the landlord to extend your lease for another 6 months to give you more time to look for a place. With regards to the advance and deposit, I am assuming you already used your advance deposit. The security deposit technically will be returned to you after you turned over the lot to the landlord so I don’t see any reason why he would do that. Maybe you should negotiate with your landlord so you can come up with a workable solution.

may karapatan ba akong humingi ng resibo sa lessor ko? Paano kung ayaw nya akong bigyan ng Official receipt? pls help.

hi tanong ko lang po sana kung may karapatan po ba ako na makakuha ng refund sa deposit namen kung hindi ko na po talaga kailangan at magagamit yung 1 mon na para sa deposit kasi kailangan na po talaga lumipat sa nabili namen na bahay?always updated po kami sa bills namen at laging advance ang bayad ko sa rent sabi po kasi ng may ari hindi daw po sila ng rerefund kasi hindi naman daw po kami pasaway na tenant na kusa po nila pinaalis kusa daw po kaming nagsabi na aalis na..makatwiran po ba yun?

Just quick question…nagpapaupa po ako ng commercialapartment..nasira un rollupdoor after them using for almost 8 mpntjs..sino po ang kailangan mgpagawa nun?

Hi! may tanong lang po ako. Ito po situation namin.
Nagrerent po kami ng isang apartment in Palompon, Leyte. 6,000 per month po rent namin.
Tapos napagkasunduan namin ng mga kasama na lumipat ng apartment kasi namamhalan kmi sa apartment namin ngayun. Sinabihan na namin ang lessor namin bago pa magkatapusan na lilipat na kmi ng apartment na hanggang katapusan lang kmi pero humingi kami ng palugit na hanggang Dec 1 lang sana kami kasi maghahakut pa kmi ng gamit namin. pero in-eensure nmin na wala na talga kming gamit by that time at magbabayad nalang kmi ng per day na nalagpas namin. at first nag-ok yung lessor namin tapos nung dec 1 na sa umaga tumawag sya at sinabi na hindi daw pumayag ung mga matatanda (parents nung lessor). kasi daw nglampas na kami ng 1 day dapat na raw namin bayaran ung 1 whole month. para po sakin hindi po makatarungan yun. hinhi lang po ako ng payo about this. thanks po

ask ko lang po bakit walang sukat ng pinauupahan equal sa renta? di ba dapat may ranges din ang renta? for example ang 50sqm = 5,000 a month
lalo na sa mga commercial establishment kaya tuloy ang mamahal ng upa. kung mag business ka siguradong ang kita mo mapupunta lang sa upa.

Saan po ako pwede magreport about sa landlord na nag nagtataas ng 10% rent every year at 10% penalty ma-late kalang ng bayad sa renta? Sobra na po kasi sya pati tubig at ilaw pinapakialaman nya.

Gudam po. Ang house and lot po namin ay gusto upahan ng isang lending company para gawing opisina and at the same time ay mag stay in ang 2 employees nila. Kailangan ko po ba mag apply ng sarili ko pong business permit before ko iPA rent?

Good day! Gusto ko lang pong magtanong regarding sa rights namin. Me and my family started renting since 2010 up to date. Our rental fee is P5,000 per month from the day we moved in. Pero noong 3rd quarter ng 2014, tinaasan ang renta namin from P5,000 to P5,500 per month na hindi naman tama according to the law. But then, we just agreed with our landlady dahil ipapagawa daw po nila etong bahay. FYI lang po, we have a lot of issues here before na kami ang nag-shoulder like nagbabaha dito sa loob ng bahay dahil sa may tulong dingding and faulty electic wiring. Since 2014 po na nagtaas ng renta, wala pa po kaming nakikitang pagbabago dito sa bahay na ang sabi nila ay ipagagawa. Ngayon po, binigyan kami ng 3months para umalis dito sa bahay at maghanap ng bagong malilipatan. We’re 6years na pong nagrerenta dito at yung buong 2nd flr lang po okupado namin. Ang sabi po ng isang concerned na kapitbahay namin, may gusto lang pong manulot sa upahan namin. Ano pong pwede namin gawin? Maraming salamat po!

we rented this apartment near a hospital in guagua pampanga,owner asked for 1 month deposit and 2 mos. advance for our 1st 3months stay. she came back to us after the 1st month and told us that the 1 month deposit we gave is for the apartment’s “maintenance” lol, she then showed us a contract binding us to a 1yr stay. she was forcing me to sign on it without me even reading it yet. my friend and I are now looking for another apartment, We were so pissed at the apt’s owner because she didn’t tell us about that 1 month deposit thing first hand, she wouldn’t even let us stay for at least a week. pffffft.

Hi there! Need help regarding my 2 mos deposit. Nag rent ako march 30, 2014 for 1 yr. i informed or rather asked my landlord if i can still stay while waiting for our visa to qatar. He agred but with NO SIGNING or RENEWAL OF CONTRACT. we both agreed that i Vacate the house anytime. This house has an issue, grabe ang tulo or should i say meron kaming water fals sa bintana evrytime it will rain i informed the landlord sent someone to fix it I actually even paid the labor and still hasn’t fixed till now. But I still stayed in this house up to this moment cos i cannot find a place close to my daughters school. We r in good terms all throughout this time until i texted him stating that i will need to move house cos my mom will ve staying with me so i needed a bigger house or atleast a house where my mom can have a room of her own. The he started telling me about termination clauss and the posibility of having someone who lease this house. When i told him that there were no renewal of contract and if he wanted to lease fhe house right away he CANNOT. Cos he need to fix the window, even need to put water sealing on the whole side of apartment as water is also coming from there everytime it’ll rain. But he atill insits of not giving our 2 mos deposit here. But since my husband didnt stop nugging him from qatar he came with this descision that we should stay in this house till march cos then it’ll be our 2nd year here. I already have a new place to move and had given them my depost and adavne and it also strata raining a bit at night so we really cannot stay here anymore. Donr want another furniture to be damage cos of the water

Please advice me. Thanks in advance

Nandun po ako ng nggyari yun at hndi ko sla bngyan ng phintulot na gawin iyon. Pero ang mama ko ay tumulong sa pagbuhat ng gamit dahil pinagbabato ito ng may ari. Ano po pwede naming gawin?

Hello po! May itatanong po ako. Magpapaupa po ako ng bahay at gusto ko ng may contract kaya gumawa po ako ng kontrata. Kung magpi-pirmahan po ba kami nong uupa nong bahay ay kailangan pa po ba ng presensya o pirma ng abogado? O pwedeng kami na lang; yong uupa, ako at isa o dalawang witness ang kasamang pipirma doon sa kontrata? Salamat po sa inyong pagtugon!

good morning.. i would like to ask for some clarification regardig busted light and some fixture or repair within the room rented.. is it the obligation of the landlord or tentant as far as expenses is concerned.. thank you..

Hi,
I need an advise about the house, actually it’s a room which I rented previously. I moved in a new house now just a block away from where I lived previously. What happened is, we had an agreement regarding visitor. Our Landlord told us and we agreed that if ever that we have visitor we’ll just let her know and she will just add the bill of the water. One time we had a visitor at pinagbawalan nya. Nagpaalam kami ng maayos through text pero ang sabi nya mahirap daw ba intindihin kase ayaw talaga nya na may bisita. Tinext namin ulit sabi namin di ba Ate sabi mo pag may bisita ipaalam lang sayo tapos dagdagan nalang yung bayad sa tubig if ever. Inakyat nya kami kinatok at sinabihan na kung ayaw daw namin sumunod sa rules nya, umalis daw kami huwag na daw kami doon. Kinabukas ora mismo, umalis kami. Sino tinakot niya. For 4 years hindi nya pinahalagaan ang umupa sa kanya. At ito pa… Sa kuryente, tinataga kami di ko alam kung legal ginagawa nya. May submeter ang kuwarto namin which supposed to be doon lang sya magbase ng bill namin sa electricity. Alam nyo ina add pa nya yung mother meter. Tapos never sya nagpakita ng Meralco bill hard copy to let us knkow kung magkano talaga bill namin. Tama ba yun na may submeter pa idadagdag pa nya yung sobra sa mother meter. At may addtional pang fare nya. WOW!!!! Sarap isumbong sa meralco at BIR kung legal paupahan nya. Guys ano masasabi nyo dito

HI Ask ko lang po, I just rented a house. Wala pong contract, tapos bigla na lang sinabihan kami ng 2 to 4 months na lang kami, their reason is nademolish daw yung kapatid and patitirahin. During my conversation with the caretaker, it seems that their reason was to actually have the brother live here and put up a store. Nagulat po kami kasi it is our understanding that we can stay for at least a year though wala naman kaming contract. It was implicated during our talked that the owner is paying the house as it is Rent to Own and we can Rent it to him po for the mean time. We are asking for a lower rate nga po and it was not given because we were told that he is paying a big amount for a certain number of years. We asked for contract previously but they will not provide, now they were saying that we have to go dahil patitirahin yung kapatid nya. We spent a lot with the transfer. I know I can get rent another house, but the expenses of the transfer is huge and we were not informed that we can only rent for only a number of months prior to renting. The house was still being renovated when we paid and we only have a note indicating the payment.

Can we do something about this?

Hi. Ask ko lang po. Pano po kung nagmove out na ung umuupa samin tapos hindi nila nabayaran ung tubig at ilaw nila ? Pero hindi namin alam kung saan lumipat .pano po yun ? Me, as landlord, kelangan bang saluhin yun ? Kung alam naman namin kung san sila lumipat, pwede po ba ireklamo sila para magbayad ng mga naiwang bills ? Thanks po sa sasagot. 🙂

Good day! ask lang po ako ng advice..i’ve been renting my room for 4 yrs. na for 3thousand per month…actually its a boarding house with 3 floors…lumang bahay sya…madami pong room, overcrowded na nga po eh…wala din po sila permit…ang sabi po sa akin ng caretaker pag umalis daw po ako dun tsaka nila tataasan yung rent…then this yr. tinaasan po nila ng 500pesos yung rent ko so ok lang po sa akin…then suddenly narinig ko po sa kapwa ko tenant na nag uusap yung caretaker and landlady na paalisin na lang po daw ako dun para mataasan nila yung rent dun…ang nakakainis po dun is wala naman po ako pagkakautang sa kanila tapos bigla po nila ako paalisin…ano po ba ang dapat ko gawin at sabihin sa kanila and saan po ako pwede humingi ng tulong if ever na mangyare po na paalisin ako?…

Hi. May mga tanong po ako. May law po ba tayo tungkol sa deposit rights ng tenant?
Renter po kmi ng isang unit for a business. Wla po kaming kontrata o written agreement. Nagbayad po kami sa landlord ng 2 months deposit and 2 months advance as the landlord’s requirement. Nagamit na po ang 2 months advance payment. Ngayon po nagpaalam kami na aalis na sa unit na nirerentahan namin at tinanong kung makukuha pa ba namin ang 2 months deposit na binayad namin sa landlord. Hindi pa naman po kasi due date para sa monthly rental. Ang sagot po ng landlord sa tanong ko tungkol sa deposit, hindi na daw po, dapat daw e-consume namin ang 2 months deposit. Ngayon nalito po ako, kasi wala naman po kaming pinag-usapan na kailangan namin e-consume ang deposit, ang akala ko po ang advance payment lang ang eko-consume. Kasi sa una pa lang po, hindi na po humarap ang landlord sa amin, kahit nung nagbayad kami ng 2 months advance and 2 months deposit as the requirement, mother lang po niya ang tumanggap at wala rin po alam sa conditions ng anak niya. Though nagkita po kami ng landlord pero hindi po namin napag usapan ang tungkol sa condition niya sa deposits na eko-consume. Gusto po sana namin makuha ang deposit kahit 1 month deposit na lang malaking tulong na rin po kasi sa amin sana. Ngayon ayaw po ng landlord humarap sa amin dahil busy o may trabaho siya from 10pm-8am everyday, though nag presenta na kami na willing makipagkita sa kanya ng Sundays to make things clear and formally close. Kasi pangit o masakit sa loob na galit siya sa amin dahil humihingi kami ng pabor sa kanya.
May habol pa po ba kami tungkol sa deposit?

Nagrerent po ako ng studio type na unit at recently lagi nakikitulog yung girlfriend ko, mga half the time andito sya, my landlady is asking me to pay an additional 2k per month and register her as another occupant kasi ang nakaregister daw na occupant eh ako lang, ganun po ba talaga yun?

Good day! May question po sana ako..bagong lipat po ako sa apartment na tinitirhan ko po. 1st day po na stay namin nalaman ko na sobrang init pala yung nakuha kong room kapag umaga dahil masyado tirik ng araw.hindi kasi pwede anak ko sa ganon kainit dahil may hika sya at pneumonia. So nakiusap po ako sa may ari na baka pwede kami lumipat sa kabilang room dahil sa kalagayan ng baby ko at isang gabi palang naman po kami natulog dun. Sinagot nya po ako na napaka dami ko daw sinasabi at galit na galit sya sa text nakiusap lang naman ako kaya nawalan ako ng gana unang araw palang namin. Bukod po dun may kapatid po ako na pumupunta sa bahay para tulungan ako mag alaga sa anak ko. Bigla po sya nagreklamo sakin na sabi ko daw ako at anak ko lang kasama ko. Di nya naman sinabi sakin na bawal bisita kahit umaga. Kung ganun kasi di ako lilipat dun. Sabi ko dapat may kontrata sya na nakapalagay ang rules o sabihin sakin bago lumipat. Ngaun po ayaw ko na sa bahay dahil hindi kami nag kakasundo ng may ari. May habol pa po kaya ako sa 2months deposit at 1month advance ko since isang araw lang po ako?

Hi. may tanong lang po ako.
I and my friend rented this room. e asked kung pwedeng palitan nami yung lock pero ayaw ng land lady. Dapat daw may duplicate sila ng susi para maCheck check nila ang room namin kung malinis, o may nasira. Dahil daw ayaw nila sa dugyot na boarders. But then I thought, kahit naman siguro ganoon ang boarder, do they have the right to open the room kung wala ang renter? Kahit naman walang nawawala pero parang wala na ring privacy doon di ba? Isn’t that considered invasion of privacy?
And then kapag daw may bisista kami, dapat magbigay kami ng 100 per head kapag more than ONE HOUR sila sa room unless family member. Pero kapag family member, 3 days maximum lang daw ang stay nila else we give additional payments.
Naiintindihan naman namin yung part na pinagbabawalan ang uminom and magyosi kasi baka maingayan ang mga kasama namin sa boarding house.
One time, siningil kami in advance. Aug27 kaming nagstart magrent doon. so every 27th kami dapat magbayad. workmate kasi namin yung anak ng landlady kaya alam niya kung kelan ang payday. sept22, sinalubong kami nung landlady to ask for advance payment for the month of october. Nagbigay naman kami kasi palaging rason is to be able to fix the walls and the cabinet in the room. Kasi dahil may sira pala ang dingding ay nagmoMoist sa loob. ilang beses namin tinatanong kung kelan papaayos pero palaging sagot: “kung aaraw”. Although palagi namang umulan noon pero ilang beses din naman nang umaraw.
BAgo pa man kami lumipat is sinabi nilang baka second week ng september ay papaayos na yung room. nagbigay kami ng deposit namin nung isang linggo bago kami lumipat. Palaging sinasabi noon ay papafix daw muna yung room bago kami lumipat pero na sakanila na kasi ang pera at nahihiya kaming bawiin nalang iyon.
Nakakasawang palagi silang puro pangako kaya nagpaalam kaming lilipat na. Saka sila nagdala ng karpintero para daw mag ayos ng room pero parang ipinatignan lang kung ano ang aayusin. Like they are trying to make us stay kasi kami yung madalian nilang masingil sa upa.
Tinatanong namin yung deposit namin kung kelan namin makukuha kasi hindi naman namin ikoConsume pero ang sabi: “Di ba sinabi ko sa inyo noon na consumable yun?” we said that we are in a rush to transfer because we will be together with my sister and cousin. And di ba dapat kaming renters yung magdedecide kung icoconsume pa namin yun? She still tried to make us stay then I told her that my sister has a baby. Di naman pwedeng sa isang masikip na kwarto ay magsisiksikan kami, di ba?
An then she is already reserving that room for future renters that is why she talked to us na dapat by 27 wala na kami so the new renter could move in.
Nung dumating si Bagyong Lawin, basang basa kami sa loob kaya umuwi kami sa bahay nung friend ko.
27 na bukas, but our money isn’t given back yet. Pwede ba silang ireklamo?

Good article, Thanks!

Hi, I also currently have concern to our rented unit. We are renting this unit here in Makati for 6 months which will expire this December 20,2016. Ahead of time (first week of November). I submitted a letter of interest to extend for 3 months. I did not intend to renew the contract but only want to extend for 3 months. 4 months ago, they increased the rate of each unit. Now They want to apply to us the increased new rate for our extension of 3 months. Further, they also wanted to adjust our 2 months deposit into the new rate. May I know if this legally right? Hope for a reply.. thanks.

Please help me with this. I signed a tenancy contract 3 months ago and agreed to pay 15pesos per kwhr on the submeter the landlord had installed at our property. The meter readings were taken at the outset and I was paying my bill merrily for the first 2 months then the landlord tells me my meter is not working correctly and he changes it without my consent and now the meter runs 4x faster than the previous one, in effect this is quadruppling my bill at a minimum. I am not happy and have voiced my disagreement on such to him. He says I’m lucky because I have been having cheap electric for the last 2 muonths. Is he allowed to do this? This is not a Meralco meter but a landlord installed submeter, so only he says the meter is not working correctly not the electric company! This is daylight robbery in my view. My contract states i must pay the charges ‘for the said meter’ the readings on this new meter now differ from the ‘said meter’ on the contract I signed!.thank you

Hi. Tatanong ko lang sana kung tama ba na dagdagan ng tax ng landlord ko yung binabayaran kong rent. 12000PHP ang rent ko. Matatapos na contract ko sa kanila in 2 weeks at may notice sila ngayon na magiging 13440PHP ang rent ko dahil magkakaron na raw ng 12% VAT. May nabasa ako na wala daw dapat VAT ang 12800PHP below na rent. At tama ba na 2 weeks from end of contract nila ibibigay yung notice, eh di wala na time para makapaghanap ng malilipatan kung ayaw na tumuloy dahil sa tumaas na rent. Sana may makatulong. Salamat.

Alam ko medyo out of topic, pero may nakakaalam ho ba dito kung legal ang paniningil ng Homeowner’s Association ng 12,000 pesos para sa aking tindahan na meron namang permit galing sa gobyerno?

hi! ask ko lang po kung tama po ba yung pag singil ng ladlord ko sa monthly rental ko. nag bayad po ako ng 1month deposit and 1month advance sa owner ng dec 10. tapos january 10 nag bayad po ulit ako nung monthly rent na 3800, pero yung receipt na binigay nya sa akin, dec10-jan10 ang nakalagay. kaya po pag dating ng feb10, yung receipt magiging jan10-feb10 naman. are there actions that can be taken against the owner if ever mali ung way ng paniningil nya? o kailanagan lang po namin mag follow kung ganon sya maningil? thank you..

Hello, Good day po! Ok lang po ba paki check nito contract na binigay samin. Muka kasi hindi sya tugma sa tenants rights. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/94aa525d91fc9d588546c9c6c5bdc72915a5d0dda327a9cab291a9e8e2887def.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9b600a7a7d427ad80f6077d64394a925f6b0ded9d69b279ede85266376037549.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d5aef106ebb8f70335a271d0cd192182221841a59a050ea1cc3b6639efbc1f65.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c79ca3fe20afdb72cc1b7fef746fbeda16da727200fd20747520f5d80c9df0d2.jpg

Nagrerenta po ako sa napakaliit (<2x3meters) na space malapit sa bhay ko para sa aking Expresspay business, plain kwarto po yun na dating tindahan. Ang tanong po, tama po bang ako lahat ang gumastos sa pagpapaayos at pagpapaganda ng lugar na naaayon sa business standard? At may karapatan po ba akong humingi ng sariling daanan, kasi yung space po na nirerentahan ko ay iisa ang daanan sa computer shop nung may-ari, kaya kung sarado po sila hindi rin po ako makapasok sa space ko ng di ko sila tatawagan para pagbuksan ako o kung wala po sila sa bahay nila, hindi na po ako tuluyang makakapasok. Nagreklamo po ako sa may ari gayong ako na po ang nagpagawa ng saraduhan sa pinto sa labas at binigay ko pa sa kanila ang kandado kong combination para kung wala sila ilock nlng sana nila sa labas at makakapasok pa rin ako, pero di po nila ginagawa yun kya lagi po akong nakasara kung nakasara din ang computer shop nila, particularly every sunday. Kung tutuusin pwede nmn po sana silang maglagay ng sarili nilang pintuan para sa computer shop nila sa boundary o tapat ng pinto ng nirerentahan ko sa gilid. Pero sinasabi ng may ari, dapat daw nung pinaayos ko yung lugar ay naglagay daw ako ng sarili kong daanan sa harapan(<2meters). Kung sinabi po nila yun sa akin bago ako umupa, hindi ko na po kukunin yung yun at maghahanap nlng ako ng iba. tulungan nyo nmn po ako, ano po ang pwede kong gawin para maging maayos ang pagsasama namin ng may ari gayong kahit po withholding di ko po mahingi sa kanila. Nagbabayad po ako ng 15% withholding tax para sa renta kaya maliban po sa binabayaran ko sa knila may extra 15% pa monthly para sa tax, at wala daw po silang pakialam dun. Di rin po sila nag iissue ng OR ng renta. Saan ko po kaya pwedeng ilapit ang kaso ko, gusto ko man pong lumipat ng ibang lugar, nakapirma po ako ng kontrata sa knila at napalaki nnmn ng gagastusin ko para mailipat lahat ng kailangan ko gaya ng internet, at signage at ang laki po ng ginastos ko sa pagpaparenovate at pagpapapintura ng lugar na ito, wala po akong kahati sa gastos. Tulungan nyo po ako pls.

Nagdeposit na ako ng 50% sa 1 month deposit and 1 month advance na usapan, so I was on the point of thinking to settle the payment on the same day that I’ll be transferring on the new room, and thinking na yung start date sa pag ka count ng occupancy is the same day nag appear ako at nag stay sa room, however, sinasabi ng leasor na nag start na daw po yung bilang ng occupancy calendar the day that I deposited the 50% downpayment without my knowledge at ngayon ko lang nalaman. What is the best approach to this kind of situation?

Hi! May rights ba yung broker magiwan ng gamit sa nilelease niyang unit which is a 4 bedspace all female unit? Yung reason niya is di naman daw ginagamit yung isang space kasi tatlo lang naman na kami and eto pa yung mga gamit niya nagdala ng mga ipis sa unit na nirerentahan namin. And he’s not responding to any of our queries and simply ignores them. Any grounds for criminal or civil complaint against him? Thanks!

Hi, tanong ko lang po, ano po pwede gawin kapag sapilitan kame pinapaalis sa nirerent namen apartment, bayad naman po kame sa kuryente at tubig pero pinatayan po nila kame 2 days na, pwede po ba yung ginawa nila? gusto nila agad agaran kame umalis. reason po bakit nila yun ginawa ay dahil di po kme nakapagbayad ng rent for april kulang lang ng 4k , 8k per month po rent tas ung for may po sbe nila un na deposit namen gamitin tas umalis na daw kame, ngayon sa 28 pa po kame dpt umalis pero pinapaalis na kameng pilit.

Hello po, hingi po sana ako ng advice… pano po kung ang kaso ay nagbayad ka ng renta tapos hindi sila nakapagbigay ng resibo at nakalimutan mo na ring hingin… ung nagreceived ng bayad sa renta ay katiwala ng may-ari ay tumakbo na o nag-AWOL…. ang may-ari ngayon ang naghahabol sa amin ng bayad sa renta at kung wala daw kaming maipakita ng resibo or tinanggap nila un bayad ay considered na hindi kami nagbayad… pero consistent naman kami sa pagbabayad at recorded na on-time kami magbayad monthly… nagtiwala lang kami dun sa inabutan namin ng bayad sa renta.
May habol po ba kami dito??? hindi po b my liability din ang may-ari dahil un katiwala nya ang hindi gumawa ng maganda…. at kaming consistent na nagbabayad ang pinamumukhang hindi nagbabayad ng renta.
Advice naman po?? salamat po.

Hello. I would like to seek for your help on my case with my previous lessor. I am now claiming the security deposit after 30 days from end of contract. Their computation included a deduction for renovation costs but this is not stated in the contract that the lessee should be charged with the renovation costs after the lessee vacate the premise, also, there are no damages to the property that will require renovation. Can you please help me on this matter? Is this right o I can issue a complaint? Thank you.

Hello, Good day. Gusto ko lang po sana magtanong regarding deposits… Baka meron pong makatulong sa akin dito. There’s no particular information regarding sa deposits. Pero if ever gusto ko na pong mag move-out ng place dahil sina land lady ay mejo salbahe, and I just paid them rent, pero gusto ko na talaga maka alis kasi I really feel aggravated na sa mga ginagawa nila, is there any way para makuha ko yung deposit ko? or thank you nalang talaga sya? (wala na akong balak mag extend pa for the next month dahil as in OA sila)

may question po ako. magrerent po sana kami ng room at nakapag downpayment na kami. kaso nung makabayad na po kami ng downpayment yun pong may-ari ng bahay ang hirap ng kausap. tuwing sinasabi po namin na babalik kami para makuha yung susi na kase ndi pa po kami lilipat. bigla na lng sya madami dahilan. kaya nagdecide po kami na wag na lang ituloy. tapos nung kinukuha po namin yugn downpayment ayaw na po nya ibigay an nagamit na daw nya. kaya iconsume na lng daw po namin yung 1 month na nidown namin. pero until now ayaw pa din po nya ibigay yung susi at hinihingan nya kami ng advance eh ndi na nga po kami tutuloy at iconsume na lng yung nagastos nyang downpayment namin. tapos panay pa rin alibi nya pag sinasabi naming pupunta kami sa bahay at maglilipat ng kaunting gamit at maglilinis bago tuluyang lumipat. may karapatan po ba kaming magreklamo sa barangay

Hi, yung landlord po ayaw ibigay ng buo ung two months deposit. 1 month lang daw po kasi di nabalik ung susi. The reason po na di nasoli agad ung keys kasi may gamit pa po. Is this right?

May tenant kami, aalis na daw sya, pero antay muna daw ako mg 3 months kc un daw nakalagay sa batas. Kaya lang yung 3 months daw na un un ay hindi nya na babayaran. Ganun ba talaga? Yung 3months na palugit ay d nya na babayaran?

Hello po. Lilipat po po sana kami ng bahay oct.18 nag down po ako ng 1 buwan para d na ibigay pa sa iba. Kaso po may misunderstanding sa amin ng mister ko at wag na daw muna kami lumipat. Oct.31 nag confirmed ako na di kami matutuloy sa paglipat. Ang tanong ko po wala na po ba ako karapatan na mabawi yung na down ko po na 1 buwan? Willing naman po ako bayaran yung 2 weeks na abala, kahit po kalahati mabawi ko po. Di ko din naman po ginusto na ganun mangyari. At nov 5 po may nakauoa na sa bahay. May karapatan pa po ba ako na habulin kahit kalahati? Salamat po

Hi can I ask for some advice? I’m a tenant who have been renting a condo unit for two months now though sa contract namin is 1 year and lanlady asked for 2 months security deposit. Since first month of staying I’v been having problems sa property. Firealarm keeps going off minsan pa at 3am in the morning at minsan more than 10x a day pa. Ilang beses ko na din ito namention at naireport kay landlady but to no avail. I’ve been having anxiety because of this, my neighbors would SLAM the door so there are times nagugulat ako, nakakaheart attack! I reported it din sa Management kaso to no avail din, then I could smell the paint fumes and cigars inside my unit coming from the outside of the unit. I’m 2 months pregnant and this is sickening. Kahit Iopen ko ventillation sa CR and Window, it doesnt help bec of the strong fumes. I’ve been sick and couldn’t have a decent sleep. When I told my landlady na im planning to move out, pumayag naman po sya dahil aminado po syang may failure sa part nya like hindi po naresolve ang complaints.. she said ihohold nya yun 1 security deposit as per breach of contract, ibabalik po nya ang pdc checks as well as the other 1 month security deposit. my point is i didn’t violated ANY from the contract BUT she didn’t disclosed yung possible annoyance such as Fire alarms, Renovation from other units. Bago pa lang din po kasi ang bldg. what is my right po as a tenant? I am a good payor naman po but I couldnt stand staying from this place kung pati po ang safety ko at health ko naapektuhan. Please help. Thank you!

Hi sir Nimrod Flores gusto ko lang po sana humingi ng opinion ninyo
Kami po ay may pinapaupahang 2 storey apartment may umupa po ditong tenant wala pong kaming iniisuyung kontrata at verbal lang ang usapan, wala din pong resibo pinapipirma lamang namin sila sa mga logbook at ganun din naman sila saamin tinanggap naman nila ito simula palang dahil ito napo ang nakagawian ng mga magulang ko dahil old school ang mga ito at hindi nakapagtapos.

1) June 2016 nagstart umupa ang tenant ang usapan 1 family lang at max of 5-6persons lang ang pwede pero hindi nya ito sinunod the next month July 2016 nag pa sub-lease siya (in bad faith dahil ito na mismo ang purpose nya sa pagupa) sa mismong apartment na hindi pinapaalam saamin nalaman nalang naming ito October 2017 na, pinatigil naming ito sa kanya pero tumanggi siya at hinamon pa kami na magdemanda at mag barangay. sinasabi niyang hindi daw niya kaya ang upa (6,000) kaya siya nagpa-sub lease pero hindi ito totoo kase wala pa halos isang buwan eh nagpapasu-lease na siya, sinabe niya rin na may mga sari sari store siya kaya na establish na kaya nya magbayad pero wala pala itong katotohanan

2) Magbaranggay nalang kami 1st meet pinagbigyan siya na makiusap nalang muna para hindi na lumaki pero hindi naman siya nakipag usap, 2nd meet tumatangi parin siyang itigil ang pagpapasub-lease kaya nag desisyon na ang father ko na paalisin nalang siya, humingi ang tenant ng 6 month tapos walang bayad, hindi kami pumayag upang matapos nalang nagpaubaya na kami na bigyan siya ng 3-months na walang bayad para matapos na pero paalisin na agad ang mga pinapaupa nya nag request siya na papakita daw muna sa abogado niya ang usapan, 3rd meet hindi nya tinanggap ang offer ng father ko at naghamon nalang na magdemanda kami. Lahat ng taga lupon ng brgy. saamin ay naggalit sa kanya dahil mas marunong pa siya sa may ari at napaka yabang daw nito.

3) Ang tenant ay delinquent din sa pagbabayad at nagamit narin nya ang mga deposit at advance ibig sabihin 2 months narin siyang walang bayad

4) Ang pinapalabas nya ay hindi naman naming napagusapan na bawal ang pag sub-lease pero malinaw naman na siya lang at family nya ang pinayagan naming na umupa inamin niya ito kaharap ang lupon sa brgy. at ayon din sa nakasulat sa rental code cause for eviction ang pag papa sub-lease ng walang written consent sa owner and pinapalabas din nya na hindi siya mapapaalis dahil wala naman daw kaming kontrata at resibo, mga sir/mam maaari ba kaming mabaligtad sa pagkakataong ito?

Sana po ay bigyan ninyo ako ng linaw upang matulungan ko ang mga magulang ko alam ko din naman na may pagkukulang din kami kaya napagusapan na ayusin ito asap.

I started renting my unit last april of 2015, there was no increase annualy but all of a sudden today we got a letter informing us that the rent will increase by 20%, from 10,200 to 12,240.00. I would have gladly obliged but considering the condition of my apartment (no maintenance, termite infested wall, clogged drainage),I really want to contest the increase. Does my landlord have the right to increase the rent by 20%?

Is there a more detailed law stating tenant rights? And is this R.A. 9653 still valid if the extension is only until December 2017?

Need your help. Here is our case:
Last Wednesday we found out that our Landlord went inside our apartment unit without our knowledge. Though our contract does state that Lessor can inspect anytime of day, it does not state that he can do so without our knowledge or our presence. Now, we feel that our security and privacy are being violated. He also released a new rule that we cannot change the door locks. What could we do about this? Can we make a written agreement protecting our privacy?

good day po,tanung ko lng kung mababawi ko p po b yung tirang upa ko, umalis po kme s inuupahan nmin hnde ko ngamit p yung ntitira kung 1month advance n 7k,ayaw n ibalik nung inuupahan ko, kya nmn po ako umalis kasi ang daming butas ng bahay n nilalabasan ng maduming tubig. kada my ulan nababasa mga gamit namin dhil nga po s mga tagas ng tubig s pader n nangagaling s kapitbahay. sinabi ko nmn po s may ari pero katwiran nya mapapalaki sya ng gastos.kaya s pagkakataon yun minabuti ko n lng umalis kysa nmn palagi kaming basa pag umuulan,maraming salamat po at sana matulungan nyo ako s aking katanungan.

Hello mam! Kindly advice me regarding my procedure on the eviction of my tenant.
> Last February 15 is my tenants due date for their rent covering Feb.17-Mar17, unfortunately I didnt received any deposit on my bank account. I texted them and even give them a call but did not received any messages or call from them. I have documents of call logs and text messages from their 3 numbers which we use as our communication.
>March 13 i wrote a letter asking them if they are still interested to continue renting my unit and informing them that they have an unpaid rent for 1 month. I decided to talk to them but upon seeing my unit, through the window and an open secondary door ( steel gate door is locked) it was obvious that they are starting to move out , most of the appliances are gone.since there are no family members inside i decided to have my letter be sent thru my neighbor which they confirmed that the husband of my tenant received my letter. ( complete with my cellphone number)
>March 20after seven days , no feedback has been given to me by my tenant, i visited my unit and there was no sign of my tenant inside my unit , so i decided to write another letter demanding an update on payment for the unpaid 2 month rent for my unit. I even have my letter be blottered in the security unit of the subdivision and asked the detachment commander to handle my letter to my tenant if they happen to see them back. Unfortunately, the security staff and security officer in the subdivision informed me that they were unable to deliver my letter last March 22, 2018.because they were not able to see him enter the premises.
>March 24 , I decided to check my unit again and check if my tenant are still there. I asked for some barangay staff (2 bpso) to accompany me and check the unit. Knock on the door but no reply from the inside. I push the secondary door and only to found out that it was open so i saw the condition of the house which was for my judgement , in an abandoned state. Since this is my third visit , and nobody even contact me that they ( my tenant ) are still occupying my unit, I decided to open the lock on the main steel /gate door. For me to check the condition of the house.( note that for the last two months since feb. 17 i was trying to reach them and texted them if they are still interested to renew their contract or pay their rent, but no reply or anything that may give me a hint that they are still interested in occupying my unit.)
>While inside the house, i take pictures of the things they have left and make an inventory of all their personal effects . I ask the BPSO to wait and finish my inventory but they informed me to proceed with the documentation and just proceed at the barangay hall if im done for blotter purposes.
>Lastly , before leaving the area , I decided to replace the locks in order to protect my property from any vandalism that may happen . And immediately proceed to our barangay hall to blotter and document all the remaining personal effects of my tenant.
>After a few hours , my male tenant called me thru the mobile phone of our neighbor, demanding me to return and replace the padlock of my unit. I decided not to come back and asked the barangay chief investigator to set a dialogue for us to settle our disagreement. I was waiting for a set of date but my tenant did not reply to the investigators call or text on his new mobile number.
> To date he is approaching his 3rd month of non-payment and still no reply from him to settle the issue.
What should i do to finish this issue?
1) Can we ask the Brgy. Officials to make an inventory of their personal effects and turned over those to his relatives in the same subdivision?
2)What procedures we shall do before proceeding to question number 1?

I hope you can give advice on the above matter. Maraming salamat po!!!

Hi..tanong ko lng po kng anu magandang move or legal actions kng inalisan ka ng nag uupa sa parentahang bahay then ayaw bayaran ung mga naiwanan nilang electric/water bills? Masisingil ko pa po ba cla dun? Anu po possible na pwede gawin para maobliga cla magbayad? Thanks.

Is it to announce that a room is for bed spacing though it was agreed that I will be the only one renting the unit? The tenant (s) were insisting that my room is also for bed spacing. Okay, I know that the entire house is for bed spacing since the beginning, but I asked if there’s a room available for solo not bed spacer and they said Yes but it was occupied but will be available after a month. So I went back after a month and told them I am interested in renting solo in a room NOT Bed Space and they provided me a room. After more than one month of my stay, suddenly they announced that my room is for bed spacing and that it has to be open for another bed spacer which of course I totally disagreed because that is not we agreed upon. Besides, no agreement was written, only verbal. Please let me know what to do in case…

Need an advise po :'(

Hi! We’ve been renting for almost 40yrs in a compound (dito na ako ginawa at pinanganak, I am 32yrs old), then recently the yung mga anak ng may-ari nagdecide na paalisin na kami sa compund dahil gagamitin na daw nila for personal use ung buong. Nagpadala po sila ng 6 months notice letter samin. Feb this year ginawa nila ang letter at pinanotarized nila April 2018 at nareceived namin on the same month kung kailan nila pinanotarized ung letter. So, lumalabas na we onlyhave 4 months para maghanap ng lilipatan instead of 6 months. Before pa nila ipadala ung letter, may pinaalis na po sila sa compound na tumira for more than 10yrs na dahil daw po ipaparenovate nila ung bahay na yun at gagawing parang dormitory. So, kami that time nangangamba na baka isunod kami at dumating na nga ang kinakatakutan ng lahat. Simula po nung mga anak na ang nagmamahala dahil namatay na ung tatay nila (unang nagpa-upa sa parents ko at relatives nmen, without contract po yun kasi year kopong kopong pa), di na sila nagbibigay ng resibo sa amin sa tuwing magbabayad kami. Parang 3 yrs ago, nagbigay sila ng 1 resibo per door (7 out of 10 doors relatives namin) for the whole year na nagbayad kami. Then the last 2 years wala na po silang ibinigay na resibo sa amin. Kapag may ipapagawa kami sa bahay(dahil luma na nga) di nila kinakaltas sa rent namin. Ang katwiran nila, kami daw kasi ang gumagamit ng bahay kaya dapat, kami ang magpaayos. 3k po ang upa namin sa bahay, ung iba nman nsa 4k and 4.5k. Alam ko po na wala kaming karapatan sa compound dahil hindi samin yun. Pero hihingi po ako ng advise about sa pangyayari na to samin. Any question, let me know po.

Need help po can you or someone help me on this m https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b334e2bc60259c268fb2534eb18b1ed93c872ccc6e7f39a8f52dba946e1ae368.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/858ae3d0d563996e44181f702fbd5b4aea08174629b634ac4214c28230feea8a.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ed5fe14791e07f2b212c4b9ef73df9e7be8ab7b759e96784c91a35e11edf7acb.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1b8636de38d14edac3977a57ab68117addcac03dee70a6804d9f94caad021758.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/437503b109c6586ccb3a3c7ee596142e447836ae15f63792f2ea39c1ea47dfac.jpg atter don’t know how to handle this kind of problem with owner

In a capsule type or a room type not higher than 4 ft. And 3 ft in W. (Bed space So called by the owner) I will include some photos.

I’m renting in baclaran capsule depot. For almost a year .
But recently they imposed the late fee for rental to much
I wasn’t able to pay rent this month (I admit) but what supposed the bill is only 3,380 but now it grow more that i can.
Owner insisted to pay him try to handle of pay almost 8,000 pesos. Here’s a thing first day of late payments will be change
500 peos after the said date you will be charge 100 each day.
And what is the right contract to this?couz the owner is using
“RENT AGREEMENT ”

Now here are my questions please take it seriously i want to be educated on this matter so i can protect myself and my friends to the landlord who I think is taking advantage to people like us.

1.Is LATE FEE FOR RENTAL illegal here in philippines?

2.What to do you the owner used the agreement against us?

3.Does the sub meter for electricity needed to be registered in meralco?

4. Does the owner/landlord have the right to lock us inside the unit and cutdown electricity whale we are in it? (Cous it is also included in the agreement that tenants are giving them/owner right to do such thing)

5. How long should it takes for the deposit to be returned?
Does the law said anything about it.

6.Can the owner refuse to show there permits?

7. the owner doesn’t issue any receipts or any thing
Is the own liable to bir/dti or anyone?

8.landlord want to hold our things as a collateral?

Please pardon me on my grammar

Hope to hear your answer

Thanks in advance

Paano po kung yung advance deposit na 1month ayaw ibalik at ung last month bill papabayaran din sa tenant is that fair??? And infact ayaw mag bigay ng palugit even 16 days only. .

Hi! I would like to have some advice regarding this matter because we are already at wits end. I’ll start from the beginning because the problems start here.

I have a tenant who rented our house last Jan 15, 2018. Actually the house wasn’t ready yet because we still needed to fix a few things (few leaks, some broken fixtures, repainting etc) but they (tenant) really insisted that they’ll be the one to do it and that the repairs will be deducted from the rent and that they’ll be setting up a small office space. My mother obliged with their request. They signed the contract (but not notarized) and gave us 1 month advance 1 month deposit. My mother only required them one month advance and one month deposit because she is that considerate since it is a house, we do the one month adv and 2 months deposit to our commercial spaces.

My mother only visited the place 2-3x while the construction was ongoing and stopped because we have other concerns as well. It was already end of March when we realized that she hasn’t been in contact with us and she hasn’t paid her dues and that she kept stating that she spent a lot of money on the repairs and whenever we asked for receipts or how much it was she kept saying that it was with her secretary. About the secretary she won’t reply anymore when we text her and when we tried to call her using my mom’s phone it indicates that the phone is busy. By April 15 we were asking her to pay the rent and we received a text from her (lesssee) that the repairs costed 43, 000 php so she is not obliged to pay yet. We even visited her at our house which she rents and asked for an explanation as to how it became 43K we even brought our own worker to assess the repairs. She explained that her workers used the one on concrete roads (the one you light with fire) on the roof so the leaking would stop and it was the most expensive one (she said that the roof will be colored black just like the pavements) and other repairs she mentioned like painting etc. When we said that we want our worker to look at the roof she said that the ladder was broken and it wasn’t possible. We asked for receipt and she said once again it was with her secretary. By this time we were already worried because we also need the money. The next day we tried calling the secretary but to no avail it still indicates busy, BUT when I used our landline it rung and she answered there we found out that the receipt was with the tenant and that the cost of repairs were only around 20K. So the next day my mother together with the worker visited the place again and saw that the ladder was not broken and checked the roof, there we found out that she didn’t use that expensive material at all because it was in the same condition as before we let her occupy the place and the color isn’t black as she stated- like nothing changed. They also noticed that the family started to gather and whisper. The next day we went back and already demanded the receipt stating that the secretary herself told us that everything was with her (lessee). After a few min she gave us the receipt and we confronted her about the roof and she said that it was what was told to her and she really didn’t know. (this is a red flag already I know).
We sorted out the receipts since she also built a small office and it’s not shouldered by us. We found out that the repairs to be shouldered by us costs only 21k and that she was already delayed by two months. I told her that our contract stipulates that there is an additional 7% of the monthly rent to pay each and every month of delay and that it won’t take effect as of the moment since I’ll take into consideration that the matter has just been settled. She replied with “I lost the contract” and I replied that she signed it and I have a copy. I made a letter and let her sign that she needs to pay her dues by the end of May and she obliged and paid it.

Now comes June 15 (her next due date) and she keeps delaying her payment once again. Saying that she’ll have someone deliver it by friday, then saturday, then monday and so on and so forth. One time she said she was in a certain place and that she won’t be able to come to our house to hand it over and I told her that I’ll go to her instead. She said that she was in a car and that she is moving so she’ll just come to me instead and hand over the rent since we were in the same vicinity. I told her where I am and she said that she doesn’t have the money so I was already confused and mad because why did she even bother to say she’ll come to me and hand it over when she didn’t even have the money. Now, that pissed me off.

I sent her a letter stating what was in our contract clause #2 “…in the event the LESSEE fails to pay the monthly rental within the period specified therein, he/she shall in addition to monthly rental will pay the LESSOR an amount equivalent to seven percent (7%) of the monthly rental as liquidated damages for each and every month of delay without prejudice to the right of the LESSOR to terminate this CONTRACT OF LEASE immediately and eject the LESSEE from the leased premises…” and that she should pay immediately.

Until now there is no reply from her. She doesn’t even answer our calls and texts.

What am I to do? If I terminate the contract is it ok if I cut the power and water supply? Although it is not specifically stipulated in the contract but if the contract is terminated doesn’t that mean that she doesn’t have the right anymore to use the house let alone the water and power supply? or are there any better ways?

Thanks in advance.

Hello! Nagrerent po kami ng house. Tinamaan sya ng road widening. Ayaw maglabas ng pera ng owner. Kami po ang pinagpapagastos for the repair and addition of two new rooms. We agreed in the terms na ibabawas sa rent ung nagastos. Tapos bigla pong wala daw syang alam na ganung agreement pero nasimulan na gawin ung repairs and new rooms. Ano po ang pwede naming gawin?

HI, in my situation i only covered 18 days of my rent. is it posible na ibawas yung 12 days sa total rent ko per month?

hi we are legal tenants here in cavite. just today the landlord had made a contract n hindi registered. it is valid or not despite n sya ang may ari?? and i take pictures on the contract.. i think hindi sya makatao especially about s ilaw at tubig. ano b dpt nmen sbihin or gawin? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ed9d1932e286a43ea020c09bcde308c888afb8ba34763ed9dbab07860065ccfa.jpg

Hello po, gusto ko lng po humingi ng legal advice concerning the Security 1 month deposit.ang payment ng renta is every month. Nag rent ako for almost 10 months. Then i informed the landlord to tell the owner on August 20 na aalis na ako by September but not yet decided kung kelan. then nakausap ko landlord by first week of september na ilipat na ung gamit on September 9. And planning to stay pa ng sept 20 kasi hihintayin ko ung electricity bill. And on the 9th day nagsabi na ako sa landlord na i change my mind and. Hindi na ako mag sstay until sept 20. And ibigay nlng sa aking ung remaining ng security deposit ko on Sept 20 paglumabas na ung electric bill. And just today sept 11, ang sabi ng owner wala na ung security deposit ko kasi 10 days and ung 10 days ay na remaining ay para sa electric bill na. Meaning wala na ako makukuha sa security deposit ko kasi daw sabi ng may ari hindi daw ako nagtupad sa usapan na sept 20 ang alis ko. And hindi daw hotel ang residencial studio type rentahan nila.

And Also, wala sinabi sa akin na may contract prior ako magrent sa kanila nung November 4. Pina sign nila ako ng contract nung dumating ung owner nung January , and also dun ko din nalaman na hanggang 3 persons lng ang pwede mag stay sa nirerentahan ko, at meron charge na php 75 per person for a day na nag stay ang visitor. Ang contador ng kuryente naka takip, hindi sa amin pinapakita every month, ung nagreklamo ako nung sept 7 na hindi ko nakikita ang electric reading ska lng nila pinakita ang electric meter.

Need advice lng kung tama ba tlga na hindi ibigay ung Secuirty Deposit? Ok lng naman sa akin na bawasan, pero be fair naman. Thanks po

Hi. Ask ko lng po. Kung nag 2mos deposit at one month advance ka for a space, how do you consume the 2mos. deposit? Kc we paid it last 2013 pero now that we left the place, the lessor wants us to pay for the difference of the rent. Ang dati naming rent on 2013 is 15K, we left it was already 25K. They want us to pay the 10K difference for the 3mos that we paid in 2013.

Tama po ba un?

What if po kung ung may-ari ng bahay don’t want to provide receipt for 2yrs na binayaran nmen then they decided to have us pay on the bank so we could have receipt for the following months? We are demanding for the receipt to them, but they ignoring us. Magpaparamdam na lang sila kapag malapit na ung bayaran ng bahay at ireremind na sa bank ideposit yung bayad.

Hi sir, i would like to have an advice. We rent in a condominium, we have 1 year contract with the owner from aug 17,2017 to aug 17,2018 pero nagpadala po sya ng notice of non renewal of contract last oct 24,2018, 2 months after ng 1 year contract namen. Tama po ba na dapat automatic renew na yun since lumagpas na kami sa date ng 1 year contract namen? at tama ba na binibigyan lang kmi ng owner ng 1 month pra umalis sa unit which is wala kami naging problema or kulang sa bayad ng rent at may 2 months advance pa kami. Wala pong dahilan ang owner bakit po nya kami pinapaalis at hindi po sya sumasagot s message namen s kanya. Ano po kaya pwede namen i-file na case sa owner? we feel naha-harass po kami. Thank you!

We have a tenant that recently occupied one of our rooms but still she did not give the lease contract or the remaining deposit to us. She is renting the room for only 3 weeks. Can we evict the tenant if we know that she has no capacity to pay them? We keep on texting her but we feel that she keep on dodging our calls or message regarding the payment. We dont see a law regarding to that (I think in other countries it is called Tenant at Will)

Good day,

I would like to ask for an advice on my situation i am familiar with the RA Law however this is the only time to ask help from You guys because I have been renting for more than 10 years even though we also own property in my hometown, for the last 10 years i have met different kinds of apartment owners… owners that are linient at some point when it comes to contracts, receipts, agreement etc.
I have recently rented a house here in batangas so it was not an apartment it is a property loaned in pagibig and the owner is renting it out to tenants, so to say We are the second tenant on that place however, on september 2018

I have signed a contract and just a paper regarding the terms and it stated on the contract this how should goes:

1. That the term of this lease shall be for a period of one year to commence upon the signing of this contract and shall be renewable for another one year at the option of the lessee and thereafter renewable upon mutual agreement of the parties,
2. That the monthly rentals on the leased premises above mentioned shall be P3,500 for the first one year of this agreement. The rentals shall be paid by the lessee to the lessor on a monthly basis payable on or befor — day of the month.
3. THAT UPON THE SIGNING OF THIS CONTRACT THE LESSEE AGREES TO PAY ADVANCED RENTALS FOR ONE MONTH AND A DEPOSIT FEE EQUIVALENT TO ONE MONTH RENTAL: HOWEVER IN THE EVENT THTA THE LESSEE DECIDES TO LEAVE THE ABOVE DESCRIBED HOUSE AND LOT AND CANCEL THIS CONTRACT, THE SAID ONE MONTH ADVANCED RENTAL AND THE SAID ONE MONTH DEPOSIT SHALL BE FORFEITED IN FAVOR OF THE LESSOR;
4. That the lessor shall pay the real property taxes levied of the leased premises corresponding to the aforementioned parcel of the land while the lessee shall pay the real property taxes levied on the byuilding and tother improvements that shall be introduced by the latter
5. it is expressly agreed by the parties herein that any fixed improvements or renovations that will be introduced in the subject house and lot shall become the property of the lessor after the expiration of the term of this contract.
6. it is likewise expressly agreed by the parties that any damages to the said house and lot and its utilities for electricity, water bowls faucets etc shall be paid by the lessee.

* Now I would like to ask for a legal advice on this matter because I have given the relative of the owner who is handling this matter a month ago that we are moving out and i asked them nicely if they can give us consideration to at least consume our 1 month deposit or advance payment of P7,000 to cover 15 days of rent + 1500 electric bill and at least 300 for the water, However the relative said she has to talk to the owner and will call me back but few weeks later no one called and i already knew that they will not let us consumed the deposit so we left the property on November 30. now She is giving threats that it is in the contract but on the receipt i signed on sept 15 is for rental payment for the month of sept 14- oct 14 so technically it wasnt stated as the deposit. They are being technical with me and I have dealt with a lot of Lessors that whether there are contract or not, most of the time the lessee has the right to consume deposit or advance and the last months bill depending on the mutual agreement of both parties. so to say that I asked her that I cant afford it so I was begging them to just take it out from the advance payment and deposit for consideration. The relative is not letting me used it up and i had threats because of that so I haven t given the key back yet because we are busy working.

Please reply I need some advice
Kind Regards,
Shu

good day po ,question ko po is hanggang saan po ang liability ng landlord re: sa pagpapaayos ng mga sirang gamit sa bahay na inuupahan halimbawa sirang tumutulong bubong or baradong c.r o lababo

Hi just need advice on this we are planning to end our contract on renting the spa and it has only been 6 months. Im well aware that we need to give a letter of notice to the lessor that we would like to terminate the contract but it was written in the contract that the security deposit will be forfeited. My main concern is would it be possible to use half of the security deposit we made which is equivalent to our rental fee every 3 months? and the 3 months started last December 16. We need to pay on or before March 16. Please advise on this

Hi there i have a situation on my hands. Im renting a place and my landlord has asked us to leave the premises immediately, he has also changed the locks on our gate so that we cannot exit the premises. We owe 9200PHP in rent but have informed him that we will be vacating the premises in 2 weeks time. Which means our deposit is 5000 minus that from the total leaves a balance of 4200PHP the initial 9200 includes rent in advance of 5000 and we will be only occupying the residence for maximum 2 more weeks so that means only a total of 3 weeks rent not 4, so 4200 – 1250!1week rent) = 2950 i the totl amount owing.

Myweekly payments come in each saturday which is today and im planning on giving my landlord the 2950 owing. My question is he is acting rather childish asking me to leave straight away and hes threatening to call the police etc and he has changed the lock on the main gate down stairs and not given us the code so esentially we are being locked in, is this not illegal ? is this not a Deprivation of Liberty charge ? To force someone to be in a place and not be able to move around freely.

We have not signed any contract renewal as we are moving out in 2weeks and on his contracts he always writes things that are against the Residential Act of 2009 such as if the tenant doesnt pay rent for 1 month they must move out, which goes against the law. Am i correct not signing the contract ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Mam/Sir,

Ask ko lang po if anu karapatan ng isang may ari ng paupahan ng commercial building. Sa ngaun wlang contract na pinirmahan ang bawat umuupa. Kaya po ba paalisin ang umuupa ng mari ng building? Ang siste ay lahat ng umuupa ay binigyan na ng araw at buwan kung kelan kami mkakalipat ng bagong building at iisa lng din ang may ari ng building sa kasalukuyang inuupahan. Halos karamihan kasi sa umuupa ay laging delayed ang monthly rental fee. Ang tanong ko lng po anytime ba kaya paalisin ng may ari ang umuupa??

Meron pong gustong umupa ng bahay namin ngunit gusto po nyang pagandahin at iimprove yung some areas hindi po dahil sira or pangit kundi mitikoloso lang po yung gustong umupa. Example po ay gusto ang bintana po ay gawing sliding. Yung uupa po ang gagastos pero gusto ay ibawas sa upa. Parang hindi po ako agree dito. Tama po ba ito na ibawas sa upa?

Hope this site is still active, would like to ask about my friend’s case. the television in their condo was busted due to lightning (high voltage) according to the technician who went to the unit. Is it still my friends responsibility to pay for it? or is there a chance they will settle to 50/50. or is it the landlords responsibility? The owner doesn’t want it to be repaired, she said it is the tenant’s responsibility. The owner says they will speak to the lawyer regarding this. Hope you could advice. Thank you very much.

Magandang araw po. Umupa po kasi kami ng bahay na nagsimula noong March 16 2019. isang taon po ang nakalagay sa kontrata namin kaya lang po sa kadahilanang nawalan po ako ng trabaho ay nag abiso po kami sa may ari na hindi na nmin maitutuloy ang renta dahil wala po kaming pambayad. nais po sana namin na gamitin na yung one month advance at 2 months deposit na ibinigay namin sa kanila dahil iyon po ang nakasaad sa kontrata namin. nakalagay po sa kontrata na hindi na po nila iyon ibabalik at bagkus ay dapat gamitin namin. Sa tingin nyo po ba ay tama ang hakbang ko na gagawin? Ang pagkawal po ba ng trabaho ko at kawalang namin ng kakayahang magbayad ng renta ay valid reason para hindi na namin ituloy ang kontrata? salamat po ..makakatulong po ng malaki sa amin ang inyong magiging sagot dito

Good day po. Ask ko lang po if tama po ba ipabayad samin yung bagong biling water heater? Nagrent po kasi kami ng fully furnished condo unit and after the contract hinohold po nila yung security deposit namin. Yung sofa daw po my punit dahil leather to, tapos yung heater di na daw kaya ipagawa kaya bumili sila. So ang lumalabas wala na kaming makukuha. 23k po yung security deposit namin tapos bumili pa po kami ng aircon kasi nasira yung aircon ng unit at ang usapan 50-50 daw po kmi. Kaya ibabalik daw yung 11k. So nasa 33k pa yung pera namin sa knila. Please help us . We need an advice. Thank you

my hubby had the verbal agreement with landlord a year ago and agreed on negotiations for a month advance but no deposit. landlord does not provide receipts for rental payment so hubby takes note of his payment with the landlords signature for payments he received for rental and electricity. but a month ago my hubby was diagnosed with dengue causing us a delay in monthly rental for the month of september which is supposed to be paid on the 1st of each current month.our landlord agreed we could pay on the 30th of the same month.

However, on the 30th, which is the promised day we failed to make a payment due to our youngest daughter @4 yo was suspected of dengue (which turned out to be hand, foot and mouth disease) but still needs medication. so the cash we reserved for rental payment was used for the child’s medication and consultation fees, etc. i tried negotiating to extend at least 2 weeks for the rental payment but landlord disagreed. that same month of september i paid for the whole compound’s electric bill of 2200.00php where 1200.00 is covered by landlord and the rest is our share (take note we don’t have submeters) but since landlord was not in the province that time and may not be able to personally make the payment, he requested me to make a payment on his behalf and for the meantime cover his share of the electric bill to be deducted from the monthly rental which i agreed.

now come the 2nd of the following month(october) he brought an electrician and threatened me to cut off the electricity from our unit because of non payment which to clarify, i did not refuse to pay, i only ask for extension of 2 weeks. at the time he was trying to barge in while i was in the middle of duty for a homebased job which puts my work in jeopardy because i was in the middle of phone calls serving our company’s customers and he was causing a scandal with his caretaker and errand boy as witness. which can be heard over the phone by customers though they can’t understand since they’re offshore but of course they know something is wrong.

so i tried negotiating again this time i will pay half the month’s rental and the other half is to be fulfilled within the week which he agreed. at that time i was thinking he may have brought the tech/electrician to force me to pay. that amount was supposed to be our weekly expenses which i was saving since the rest of the cash was brought by my husband for our daughter’s medication. and take note he did not deduct the excess of my payment for electricity.

what could possibly be our rights in situations like this? did the landlord have the right to do what he did so just to force me to pay? this landlord does not even post guidelines/rules andregulations within the apartment’s premises. there’s not even a written contract.

Kailangan po bang kumuha ng permit kapag magpaparenta ng commercial unit

Hi! May boarder po kami na dalawang mag asawang Nigerian na umuupa ng room. Nag rereklamo yung ibang boarder dahil sa sobrang lakas ng amoy sa katawan, bukod lakas ng amoy ng niluluto nila. Yung ibang boarder umalis na dahil dito. Yung iba nag threaten na umalis pag hindi namin pinaalis yung dalawa. Wala pong contract. 1 Month Advance 1 Month Deposit lang. Pwede po kaya namin paalisin agad?
Salamat po.

Hi, I have a 2-year contract with a commercial space owner. However, my business has incurred losses for the past 5 months to the point that I am unable to meet the payments since I’m financially incapable. I still have 9 months left on the contract, but I am up to the point where i can no longer pay the rent, and has affected our personal choices, such as non-payment of tuition fees for 2 months. What options do I have?

Good day po naupa po kami. Madedemolish na po itong bahay at pinapaalis na po kami. Nabayaran na po itong bahay Ng bagong mayari Ng lupa nabayaran daw po Ng 100,000 pesos may karapatan po ba kami sa natanggap nilang pera. mahigit isang taon na po kaming naupa dito.

Ako po si Tricky .
May tanong po ako. Ano po bang nalabag ng landlord sa pagpasok sa bahay at kumuha ng mga gamit upang ibenta dahil sa di nakakabayad ng upa. Tama po ba ang ginawa nila pati mga t-shirt at mga sandals ay kanilang ibibent at isa pa po ay wala namang pinirmahang kontrata tungkol sa pag upa at collateral. At ni padlock nila ung bahay kahit andun pa lahat gamit ng nangungupahan.
Ano pong pwedeng gawin sa ganitong pagkakataon.

Paano po kung pinapatungan ng interest ang water bill at electric bill at ang naging resulta lumaki yung bayarin namin… May karapatan ba ang may ari ng upahan na magdagdag ng charge sa kuryente at tubig… Pinapataasan nila yung halaga ng per cubic meter at kwh …

Hi, would like to consult below concern.
I am a renter. There’s new policy for the condo i am living.

1. Whenever i leave the unit with a luggage for a vacation or business trip, building receptionist & security would ask for a gate pass to leave the unit. The gatepass is needed to apply 3 days prior and have owner approve it. If not they won’t let me leave without a gatepass.

Question: Do they (condo) has a right to retain a renter with one year contract to leave the unit for going on vacation without gatepass?

Because it doesn’t even make sense that i pay for the rent why do i need owner to approve my vacation leave and if this is for security purposes we did have contract and 2 or 3months deposit. That would be enough for the protection. And also when we signed the contract, this new policy from the building didn’t included in the contract and i didn’t agreen on the new policy.

2. Building/ condo would need an application form approved if i have a guest staying for more than a day.

Question: same as the above. Do they have a right to apply this on tenant?

I mean this is also an agreement with landlord. Why does building or condo has a say on this?

Thank you and hope you could advice.

My wife and I purchased a residential property to start a business. We
couldn’t make the business work profitably so, decided to finish paying for the
property and sell it. We did this and got a Deed of Absolute sale for it, May
2012.

We found interested buyers and signed a lease contract with them, not bounded
by the Rent Control Act, whereby they’d pay rent to run a restaurant until they
bought the property. Also written in the lease contract was a fixed time period
within which they had to fully pay for the property, once we’d given them a
copy of the title deed in our names.

We gave this to them but they didn’t make their promised, roughly half,
downpayment. Four months later and forty days too late, they consigned at the Regional
Trial Court, less than the full purchase price.

In June 2013, they filed a Specific Performance and Damages suit against
us to force us to sell the property to them. To our surprise and dismay, they
won this.

We appealed and won the appeal.

As they are running a successful restaurant business on our premises and
haven’t paid any rent since August 2013, they appealed at the Supreme Court. Understandably,
the Supreme Court didn’t overturn the Appeal Court’s decision.

Despite us having filed a motion at the RTC to get unpaid rentals, regrettably,
neither the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court ordered this payment or the
eviction of the non-paying, former tenants. Even though it had already expired,
they did however, order the termination of the Contract of Lease.

As of February 2020, the unpaid rentals, including a judicial 6% annual
interest, amount to P9,646,846.

To buy the house in 2006, we had to borrow some money from my mother.
She’s now 86 and has, for a long time now, wished for repayment. To repay her,
we need to sell the house as soon as possible and then litigate for payment
of back-rentals.

We know we’ll have to file for unlawful detainer to have the former tenants, now squatters, legally removed but are considering disconnecting their supplies of electricity and water.
Please inform us whether or not this would be illegal and if so, in your opinion,
would any judge actually punish us for this?

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Itatanong ko lang po sana kung yearly po ba dpat pumirma ng kontrata sa isang commercial complex . Ang akin pong business dto ay Pagtitinda ng mga gulay.

Hi good day
I am edwin pan from floodway taytay rizal. May question lang po ako. Nag rerent po ako ng isang room sa isang three story building for more than a year now. May kapit bahay ako na kapatid ko sabay kame nag rent dito magkahiwalay lang ng room. Ngayon ung landlord kase namen nag umpisang maningil ng parking fee ngayon month ng july sa kapatid ko 3k sa kotse and 1500 sa single na motor. Ngayon nag check ako sa agreement wala naman nakalagay na kelangan mag bayad separately para sa parking. May batas po ba about parking fee? Kase ang renta namen ay 3500/month at dahil separate ang parking fee lumalabas na mas malaki pa bayad ng parking kesa sa room. Sana po matulungan nyo kame

ok

If the tenant wants to close the business due to bankruptcy because of the pandemic today, and wanted to use the 1 month advance and 1 month deposit. But the landlord said to the tenant that those 2 months are for the electric and water bill, which the tenant already paid and clear from bills. Is that legal?? That allowing that tenant to use the 2 months for the rent??

Mayroon po akong tenant na matagal na pong expired ang 3 years niyang kontrata ng upa(ang kontratang ito po ay isinagawa at pinirmahan nila ng aking nakatatandang kapatid, dahil ako po noon ay menor de edad pa lamang, pero ako po talaga ang may ari ng property na ito). Sa kadahilanang ako po ay menor de edad pa lamang nang magkapirmahan sila, hindi ko po alam kung ano talagang taon ang tapos ng kontrata, wala din po akong kopya nito. Nang nakausap ko po ang tenant noon, sinabi niya na ngayong taon pa lamang matatapos ang kontrata nila. Ngunit nito lamang Agosto 2020 sa muli naming pag uusap para sa renewal ng kontrata kung saka sakali, ay aking napag alaman mula sa kanya mismo na ang kontrata ay expired na noon pang Setyembre 2019. 

Ngayon po, dahil sa tiwala at pag aakalang ngayon pa lamang darating na Setyembre 2020 matatapos ang kanilang kontrata, hindi na po ako kumuha ng upa nila ng dalawang buwan ( months of July at August) bilang kabayaran sa kanilang dalawang buwang deposito.

Gusto ko pong gamitin ang aking karapatan bilang may ari, ito ay kasabay na din ng pagkadismaya sa hindi niya pagsasabi sa akin ng totoong taon ng tapos ng kontrata. Ginamit po niya ng isang taon ang aking puwesto ng walang kontrata, kaya naman nagdesisyon akong wag na siyang i-renew. Ang problema po, ay ayaw po niyang umalis sa pwesto sa kadahilanang may pandemya. Wala daw po akong karapatang paalisin siya dahil may pandemya kahit matagal ng expired ang kontrata. 

Ito po ay commercial space, ang nasabing tenant po ay nag uupa para sa kanilang business na gulayan.

Ano po ang dapat kong gawin? May karapatan po ba akong paalisin sila ngayong buwan mismo? Kung saka sakaling kailangan ko po silang bigyan pa ng palugit, maari po bang bigyan ko sila ng maximum na isang buwan lamang?

I have rented a commercial space and was asked by the landlord to pay first my deposit which is equivalent to my 6months monthly rental estimately 600k and was also ask to pay to issue a postdated check of 6 MTHS which also amounts to more than 600k but haven’t used the premises yet since day one or first kept month andpaying and I want to discontinue my renting already since until now it’s still pandemic covid 19. Can I get my money back and all the things I placed in the building?

Ask ko lang po, umuupa po kasi ako ngayon sa isang garahe na ginawang canteen at tindahan. Kasama po ng isang room na tulugan. Nung pinarent po sa akin yung unit noong june 19, 2020. Ang lugar po ay mukang basurahan sa dumi. Kaya naman po ipinagawa ko ang mga dingding at nagpgawa din po ako ng mga lalabo na magagamit namin sa canteen. May roon mo syang isang gibang tindahan na pinapamahayan ng mga ipis. Ito po ay aking pinagiba at nilinis naming mabuti ang lugar.noong nagiba na ang tindahan, sinabihan po akong kailangan kapag kami ay aalis ibalik ang tindahan. Kaso ang bawat parte po ng tindahan ay hindi na po magagamit dahil sa ito ay nabulok na po sa mga tulo ng ulan sa bubong dahil gawa lamang ito sa flywood. Nangungupahan po ako dito ng 21,500 kada buwan. Pero dahil panahon po ng pandemya nung ako ay magstart na magtinda, pinakiusapan ko po ng landlord na kung maariay bawasan ang upa habang mahirap pa ang sitwasyon. Ngaun po na malakas na ang tindahan at canteen, sinabihan po ako kahapon na hanggang february na lamang daw po kami sa tindahan dahil hindi daw po ako marunong makisama sakanila. Dahil as is daw po ang pinapupahan nila, kung may tulo ang bubong at bumabaha, ako daw po ang magpapgawa, kung may lumalabas na burak sa banyo kapg malakas ang ulan ay bawal din ireklamo. Kung may reklamo umalis daw po. Tama po bang paalisin nila akong gayong nakagastos ako ng mahigit 50k sa pagpapagawa ng tindahan at hindi ko pa nababawi ang ginastos ko. Paaalisin nila ako dahil lang sa hindi ako marunong makisama dahil nagrereklamo ako sa mga sira ng kanilang paupahan at siningil ko sila sa utang ng tatay nila? Ano po ang maari kong gawin?

I wanted to ask i have been renting for less than a year, i always pay on time or advance. Last month there was an issue with the online bank and the payment posted after 48 hrs after resolving the issue. The owner is jow charging me 2200 because her check bounced and another 798 for another check that bounced because she said she doent have available balance on her checking account because she was expecting my payment. I still have the 1 month advance and 2 months deposit and my payment was delayed for 48 hrs only and it was never stipulated in our contract for any penalties regarding delay of payments. Is this legal for her to charge all these because of 1 delay in payment?
