Rent Control Act of 2009 (RA 9653): What Landlords and


Tenants Need to Know
Posted by: Joanne Almaden in Condominiums, Houses and Lots, Real Estate Laws On:January 4, 2015 Last updated: July
9, 2018

Are you a landlord? Or a tenant? You might have heard that the Rent Control Act
of 2009 has been extended again, this time until December 31, 2020. This law is
beneficial for both landlords and tenants because it protects both parties from
conflicts when it comes to fulfilling each other’s obligations.

In this post, let us highlight the important provisions that both parties should be
familiar with for their own good.

But first, let’s look at the numbers…

A study conducted by the Statistical

Research and Training Center (SRTC), a
sub-agency of the National Economic
and Development Authority (NEDA)
showed in its preliminary results that
about 7.2% of households in the
country are renters. From this

below.

This is a considerable number of people; which prompted the creation of the


Republic Act (RA) No. 9653, also known as the Rent Control Act of 2009.

Important terms defined:

R.A. 9653 defines rent as the amount paid for the use of a residential unit which is
usually paid on a monthly basis unless otherwise specified in a contract.

Residential units on the other hand are defined as either a separate dwelling place
or part of a bigger multi-dwelling place.

Buildings and apartments used for business but at the same time serves a
residence to its tenants are considered as residential units except for motels,
motel rooms, hotel, and hotel rooms.

Coverage of this law:

This act applies to residential units in the National Capital Region and other highly
urbanized cities which rent at or below ₱10,000; and ₱5,000 or below in all other
areas in the country.

The Rent Control Act of 2009 does not cover units under a rent-to-own scheme
since a separate agreement for this is made between the owner and the tenant.

The limit on increase of rent amount:

The Rent Control Act of 2009 (R.A. No. 9653) states that the lessor or the landlord
is not allowed to increase the rent more than seven (7) % annually if the unit is
occupied by the same tenant. The lessor is only allowed to change the rate for
new tenants once the unit becomes vacant.

Further, landlords whose units are dormitories, bed spaces, or boarding houses
that Shares
are rented to students are only allowed to increase the rent once a year.

AdvancesBeand deposits:

Stipulation on deposits and advances has also been included in The Rent Control
act of 2009 which further states that a lessor cannot demand from the tenant more
than one (1) month advance rent and more than two (2) months deposit. Any
accumulated interest of the deposit shall be returned to the tenant upon expiration
of the rental agreement.

However, this amount may be forfeited in instances where the tenants failed to
settle outstanding utility bills such as electricity and water. This amount may also
be forfeited and used to pay for damages done by the tenant to the property.

Subleasing guidelines:

The act also addresses issues on subleasing. It provides that a tenant is not
permitted to sub-lease the unit without a prior written consent from the landlord.
Doing such may be used as reasonable ground to evict the tenant from the rented
unit.

Grounds / reasons for eviction:

Aside from subleasing without the owner’s consent, other valid reasons for
eviction are as follows:

If the tenant fails to pay the required monthly rent for a total three (3) months.

In cases where the landlord refuses to accept the payment, the tenant may
deposit the payment by way of consignation to the appropriate court, or with
the city treasurer, the local barangay chairman, or deposit the amount to the
landlord’s bank account within one (1) month after the landlord’s refusal.

The tenant should also deposit the rent within ten (10) days of every current
month afterwards.

If the owner/lessor or his immediate family members have a legitimate need


to use the unit. However, the following conditions also apply:

1. Provided the rent for a definite period has expired. i.e. 1 month, if the rent
is collected monthly or 3 months, if the rent is collected quarterly, etc.

2. Provided the owner has given the tenant 3 months advance notice. This
should give the tenant enough time to look for another place.

year.

If the unit is the subject of an order of condemnation by appropriate


authorities and the owner/lessor needs to do necessary repairs to make the
property safe and livable. The following conditions apply for this:

1. The evicted tenant should be given the first priority to rent the unit back
after the repairs.

2. If the landlord raises the rent, the new rate should be reasonably
proportionate with the expenses incurred for the repair.

3. But if the unit has been condemned or completely demolished instead,


and a new building is built on the same site, the evicted tenant no longer
needs to be given the first priority for renting the new building or any of
the unit(s) therein.

Expiration of the lease/rental contract.

In instances where the property has been sold or mortgaged to another owner, the
new owner cannot evict the existing tenant(s) just because he is the new owner.
The new owner still has to follow the above provision on evictions.

Penalties for violations:

Persons, whether natural or juridical, who are found to have violated any of the
provisions of this Act will be subject to a fine of not less than ₱25,000 but not
more than ₱50,000.00, or imprisonment of not less than one (1) month and one (1)
day but not more than six (6) months, or both.

Validity period of this Act:

The Rent Control Act of 2009 has been signed into law on July 14, 2009 and
should have expired on December 31, 2013 but it was extended up to December
31, 2015 by the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC)
under the direction of the current vice president, Jejomar Binay.

Update: On June 8, 2015, the HUDCC further resolved to extend the effectivity of
R.A. No. 9653 up to December 31, 2017:

Tenants have been renting for more than 5 year and they only have initially signed their 1st
year contract with us. (I understand that it is understood that it is auto-renewal). Landlord
now wants to implement an Php800 increase so they sent last March 1, 2017 to all tenants
that it will take effect by May 1. Landlord requested if they can all advise in 30 days (April 1)
by indicating on the received letter their conformity or non-conformity. All tenants received
the letter but did not indicate if they agree or not.

***Tenant A inquired shouldn't his rent increase take effect on his anniversary date? Meaning
if his lease started on January which auto-renewed every year for 5 years, shouldn't his rent
increase take effect also on January already of the following year? Landlord wants to
increase May this year and tenant's point if his lease had already started from January to
December 2017. So just rightful for Tenant A to get his rental increase by January 2018
already?

***The landlord only gave 2 months notice to increase the rent. Is this legal or is there a
number of months for landlords to advise their tenants of any rental increase?

And what if the 2 months had lapsed, does the landlord have the right to implement the
increase of Php800/month already even if they only received the letter and no agreement

1. The 2-month notice is more than enough. It's also reasonable and not illegal.

2. If the original lease contract doesn't have a stipulation on automatic renewal for
the same yearly periods, then the provisions of law will apply. Under the New Civil
Code, in case a lessee continues to occupy the leased property for at least 15 days
after the end of the contract and the lessor does not oppose, there is an implied new
lease, not for the same period as in the original contract, but " .....from year to year, if
the rent agreed upon is annual; from month to month, if it is monthly; from week to
week, if the rent is weekly; and from day to day, if the rent is to be paid daily...."

In your case, assuming the lessees are paying rent on a monthly basis, then the
implied new contracts are only from month to month and not yearly. So, it wouldn't
be necessary to wait for the end of the supposed contract year if there are changes
to the rental rate.

a couple I know (only because
our Guide    I used to
worked with the man as my Manager overseas and haven’t seen for 19yrs).
Only had communication thru facebook before. These man and wife are both
working in Mid East both Managers and only their 4 kids living in my house
with supervision of an adult family member. I let them live in the house rent
free on their first month, when they moved in because they couldn’t wait even
we were still waiting for the reconnection of water line and doing some
refurbishments. Helped and gave them a favour.
Now, my concern is they owe me about P100k+ equivalent of almost 9months
rent free. They always missed payments. We had our rent agreement contract
only the first year but only as formality as I know them and treated as a friend.
They paid 1 month advance and 2 months deposit but already used it up.
Kept promising to pay. They blocked me in fb for what obvious reasons, I dont
know. The only communication we have right now is thru viber? It is hard to
communicate and act as we both out of the Philippines. What will I do to get
rid of them and get the arrears back?
Pls help.

If you have a lease contract for any duration, dapat po talaga tapusin yun. It goes
both ways kasi - hindi sila pwede paalisin nalang nang basta by the lessor, at hindi
rin sila pwedeng aalis nalang nang basta rin.

In cases like yours, ang ginagawa namin is we forfeit the security deposit. Yung
security deposit po kasi, hindi pwede gamitin yun as rent nila. Security lang talaga
Shares dapat yun for charges other than the usual rent. At kung matapos ang lease na
walang kailangan i charge na extra then ibabalik yun ng buo rin sa kanila

So in the case you described, although late na nga lang 'tong reply namin, it wouldn't
be right kung papayagan nyo pa syang i-apply yung deposit nya for the next 2
months stay nya. Para sa next tenant nyo nalang mam.

Hello po! Same issue here but saken po as Lessor, nakalagay po sa contract ko na
may penalty per day po pag di sila nagcomply. And per day basis po. Actually the
purpose of this po on my end is para hindi maging delinquent yung tenant. Is it illegal
po ba to have penalty included in the contract? Both of signed the contract and I
have both of our copies notarized din po. Pero seems like di po nya binasa contract
kasi nagrereklamo po siya on penalty. Is it my fault po ba na di nya nireview yung
contract? I even sent a copy before notarizing it po. Thanks po sa response in
advance!

not your fault. if it's notarized then good. use it against them and enforce

Hello po. Halos same case po kami. Nagkaroon po ng alitan yung family ko
and yung landlord namin kaya biglang gusto na kaming paalisin ng landlord
dahil titira na raw siya dito sa inuupahan namin. Last year po ay gumawa na
ng kontrata na nakasaad na hanggang katapusan na lang kami ng december.
Ngayon, pinaglalaban ng parents ko yung apartment dahil may tindahan din
po kami which is source of income rin po namin. Tanong ko po, yung tatlong
buwan po ba na pagitan ay gagana once ma expire ang contract or yung
pagitan po na iyon ay umaandar na habang umuupa pa kami? Salamat po.

Hi! Please educate me regarding tenants and renters law/rights.

May bahay po kami na naisanla namin sa halagang 120K. pinaupahan po ng pinagsanglaan


ang bahay na isinanla namin sa kanya. ang umuupa po ay may depositong 2 months sa
pinagsanlaan. Kinuha na po namin ang aming bahay na isinanla sa halagang 120K noong
july 2016. subalit hindi po niya ibinigay sa amin ang 2months deposit ng umuupa sa aming
bahay.

Sinabihan n namin ang umuupa sa bahay na gagamitin n nmin ang bahay at kailangan na
nilang umalis. Gusto po ng umuupa na gamitin ang dalawang buwan na deposito nila (hnd
sa amin ibinigay ng pinagsanlaan) at 3 month pa (na walang bayad) na nakasaad daw sa
batas.

Ang 3 months na isinasaad po ba sa batas ay kinakailangan na maconsume nila? at talaga


po bang wala itong bayad? Paano po ang dapat na pag uusap namin regarding sa ganitong
sitwasyon?

Search mo sa Google Rent Control Act No. 9653.
Yung 3 months means advance notice nyo (owner or lessor) sa tenant or lessee
which is formal 3 months advance notice of the lessor's intention to repossess the
house/property. But they (tenants) will have to pay you these 3 months rent (in
advance monthly payment). Yun namang 2 months deposit ay dapat lang na ibigay
sa inyo (owner) from pinagsanlaan. Depende naman sa usapan nuon ng dating
nagpapaupa at ng tenants kung consumable ang 2 months deposit o isasauli nyo
(owner), that is after na magbayad ng last 3 months yung tenants.
I would suggest na kung ayaw talaga ibigay ng pinagsanlaan yung 2 months deposit,
paupahan nyo na lang ng 2 months libre yung current tenants, walang nawala sa inyo
(owner), at sabihan nyo agad now (in writing) to vacate after 2 months. Wag nyong
sabihin na gagamitin na ng pamilya nyo ang bahay, just say na may iba nang uupa
after 2 months (kahit wala) or marami kayong ipapa renovate (kahit wala). At least
you've served yung 1 month advance notice to tenants as per Rent Contral Law.

Hi good afternoon po. May idudulog po kaong concern po. Last week po kasi ng May 19
nakahanap na po kami ng malilipatan na apartment. Nagbayad po ako ng initial
downpayment na 10K sa 2mos deposit at 1mo advance na hinihingi nila and may pinaalis
po ako na nakaharang na dating poso sa gitna ng kitchen na nakahambalang. wala naman
na pong gamit yun. Then last Sunday, May 22, 2016, naglinis po kami duon sa unit pero
nung kinagabihan nagdecide po kami ng asawa ko na huwag na po tumuloy duon sa unit.
Nais ko pong maibalik yung dineposito ko. However sabi po ng may ari hindi nya maibabalik
agad dahil niremit nya sa tatay nya ang pera at ibabawas daw po ang 700 sa labor ng
pinatanggal namin na tubong bakal. kanina pong umaga sinabi na po na mag improvements
na ginawa sa unit may pinalitan na sahig at pininturahang dingding na gusto din po nila
ibawas sa dineposit namin. Ang sabi ko po ay hindi naman po dapat ganun. ano po bang
dapat ko gawin? kailangan ko na po kasing makuha ung deposit. Please advise po. thanks.

owner.

Recently, the owner sold the property to another person without asking us if we would like to
purchase the property, which we want to and we can pay it in cash. Is this legal?

Also, the new owner is asking for P12,000 monthly rent which is a big increase from the
monthly P7,200 rent. From the article I have read above, if we are below or equal to P10,000
rent, our increase should not be more than 7% even if there is a new owner. We have never
vacated the property, not behind on any payments and all bills are paid.

Your urgent reply on this matter is greatly appreciated as we will be having talks tomorrow
on this tomorrow in the Barangay Office.

Thanks

As to your question on the sale, kung wala namang stipulation sa contract nyo na
may right of first refusal kayo, then what your previous landlord did, was not against
the law. Itong right of first refusal kasi is not a provision of law, this is just a popular
stipulation in lease contracts. So it's entirely up to the parties kung gusto nilang may
ganito sa contract or wala.

As to the increase of rent na inimplement ng new owner, that one is in violation na


talaga nitong Rent Control Act. And you are right to take it to the Barangay for
conciliation.

Mona
whether tumanggap ng reservation or not ang landlord is not the point. since nag
advance notice ka na aalis kayo that katapusan, is official notice of confirmation.
Shares your question sa caretaker "paano po yun" is another subject, whether nakausap nya
ang owner or not therefore hahanap na sila ng makakapalit nyo hindi naman pwede 12/28

Even if the agreement is only Verbal?

Nimrod Flores Mod > Dan Henric Puertollano • 3 years ago

Dan, under the law, verbal agreements are as valid as written ones.
Although, there are just some specific agreements that the law requires
to be put in writing. But these are just exemptions and the general rule
is that we should honor agreements, whether they be verbal or
otherwise.

At ganoon lang talaga dapat, kahit wala pang batas. Kasi hindi naman
natin pwede gawing excuse na dahil verbal lang ay pwede na tayong
atras-abante sa usapan. Ang gulo ng mundo kapag ganoon. Dapat po
natin panindigan ang bawat pangako or salita na binitawan. Lalo na
kung may kabilang panig na umasa dun sa binitawan nating salita.

My landlord just told us today April 8,2019 that they increased the monthly rent from 25,000
to 27,000 .Our contract in renewable yearly and ends every March.we were told to leave if
we do not agree of the increase. What i understands is ,at this moment based on the
contract ,our contract lease was already renewed.So the landlord has no right to impose the
said increase nor has the right to evict us.Another thing is I have been asking for official
receipts of my monthly payment,and its been 3 years that they refused to provide. I told my
landlord that I will only vacate the said property if she could provide me BIR official receipts
of all payments that i made since moving to her property. I also paid 2months advance and
2months deposit totalling 100,000.Pls give some advice.i know sa rent control act hindi
covered ang case ko dahil nagbabayad kami ng rent na 25,000 at ito ay higit sa 10,000 na
itinakda ng batas.salamat po

hi good day! Pls educate me if may specific duration ba o mimimum term ng years ng upa
kapag for lease.My Parents just rent a house na ang agreement ay for lease. Abandoned po
ang bahay for few years, so we decided na ipa renovate some parts of it. They had an
agreement rin po na ibabawas sa rent ang gagastusin sa renovation, magbabayad sila
atleast half amt nung renta until it covers the whole expenses sa renovation. Then resume
po sa tlagang amt nung rent. Meron po bang law na nagccover sa minimum duration o
minimum term of years pde umupa kapag for lease po so that they can enjoy naman yung
bahay for long term. 2 years lang po kasi ang nilagay ng lessee sa contract and since rights
lang po, baka magkaroon daw ng roadwidening yun yung katwiran nya.But partial lang po I
guest ang mababawas o matatamaan dahil malaki po ang bahay.
Ano po ang pwede maging basis namin about it para atleast pde madagdagan yung
duration ng pagstay nila sa bahay.

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.

Nagrerenta ako, and gusto ko na umalis sa bahay kasi sobrang perwisyo sa akin. Laging
walang tubig, more than 2 weeks noon eh di ako nakaka ligo dahil walang tubig. Kung may
tubig man, kulay brown. Ung Landlord is ayaw akong paalisin kasi daw perwisyo sa kanya
un. Wala ba akong karapatan na umalis dun? Given the fact na Hindi accessible ung water
tapos super layo pa. I mean working student lang ako at ang rent ko is 6500 per month.

Hello po! Good morning!
Mag-consult lang po sana ako regarding sa current situation namin dito sa apartment na
nirerentahan namin dito sa Sampaloc, Manila. Almost 15 or 16yrs. na rin po kami nagrerent
dito. Mabait naman and considerate naman po ang mga owner.

Two (2) months ago(end of July or 1st week of august?) yung owner po ng apartment is nag-
lagay na ng signage na "House and Lot For Sale". This August 15(i'm not sure sa exact
date), nagkaroon na po ng buyer and nagbayaran na po sila. Dito po sila nag-meet sa
apartment. Gusto po nung buyer na lalake is agad-agad umalis na po kami ng apartment
pero yung asawa po na babae is considerate and nagbanggit na wag naman daw po agad-
agad kaming paalisin at bigyan ng ilang buwan para makapaghanap. After po ng pag-uusap
nila dito sa apartment, sabay po sila(owner and buyer) umalis para po sa bank magbayaran.
Nagkaroon din po sila(between owner and buyer) ng agreement na bibigyan po kami ng
2mos. para makahanap ng malilipatan. Two months na lang po hiningi namin sakanila dahil
nagmamadali nga po yung buyer na maipayos or matibag yung bahay.

Hi good day po,

ask ko lang po kung pwede pdin gamitin tong law na ito, kasi po yung may ari nung
inuupahan naming bahay eh bigla nalang po kami pinaalis 8 months palang po kmi wala
kming palya sa pagbabayad ng monthly rent namin which is 2,500/month ok lang naman po
na paalisin kami kaso po ininform po kmi nung may ari bago kami mag bayad ng rent for the
month of july dahil umuulan daw po nababasa sila pero hanggang ngaun po di naman sila
lumilipat august 27 na.tapos madaling madali silang paalisin kami eh di pa gawa yung
lilipatan nmn. so dahil ganun po yung nangyare di nakmi nag bayad ginamit napo namin
yung deposit tapos may may isa pa po kmi deposit for the month of august ang gusto po
nung may ari umalis na kmi agad eh wala pa pong 1 month nung sinabi nila na umalis na
kmi sa bahay nila and nanghihingi po kmi ng extension para po mapagawa namin yung
lilipatan namin and wala po silang konsiderasyon mga bastos po sila kausap. ang sabi po
samin basta sa august 14 umalis na kayo diyan tas lagi pong sumisigaw sa labas ng bahay
namin ng iiskandalo po eh dalawang beses nya po yung ginawa nung may ari palibahasa
pulis po kasi. bali nakalipat po kami ng august 19 katabi lng po nung bahay nila. sukat pong
sumugod samin tas nagsisigaw po ang pinabayaran agad yung bill ng kuryente at tubig wala
po kming utang sa meralco at tubig and kadarating lang po nung bill . kinabukas ko po
binayaran namin agad. na video din po nung kapatid ko yung pag sugod pa samin nung
may ari dalawa po silang mag asawa may sakit pa naman po yung mama ko and kapatid
knowing na mas may edad mama ko sa knila tas nagsisigaw po sila.hindi po sila marunong

Good day po.
Ang nagpaupa po at nakipagpirmahan sa contract ng umuupa samin ay kapatid ng nanay
ko. Ngayon po ililipat na sa mama ko ang pagiging landlady. Etong nangungupahan po
nagkaroon ng issue sa nanay ko. Ngayon po ang usapan namin ng nangungupahan until
End of July 2019 nalang sila. Pero august na po di padin sila nagsosoli ng susi. Oral
agreement lang po na aalis na sila ng end of July 2019 kasi since June di na sila nakabayad.
Pwede na po ba namin palitan ang padlock ng space kasi gusto nila magbayad muna kami
ng kung anong mga pinarenovate nila dun bago isoli ang susi. Choice naman po nilang
iparenovate yun. Pag di kami nagbayad sakanila, babaklasin daw nila ang bagong
pader,kisame, sahig, bubong at etc. Ibabalik daw nila sa king anong status noon bago sila
lumipat which is impossible na kasi wala naman na yung mga materyales na tinanggal nila
doon. Tama bang pagbayarin nila kami?

Good day po. Ask ko lang po if tama po ba ipabayad samin yung bagong biling water

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

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

Tenant po yung mga biyenan ko since 1978 pa. Ang dating landlord eh patay na at ngayon
eh nagpalipat lipat sa mga anak ang tungkol sa pagpapaupa. Wala sila ginagawa
improvement sa mga bahay. Yung tenant ang nagpapagawa at di lahat ay binabawas sa
upa. Ngayon dahil yung isang anak na ang me hawak magtataas daw sila ng upa more or
less 15% ng renta? Ok lang po ba yun?

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.

Tenant defaults payment for around 6months and no longer communicating with us.
According to the neighbors, they no longer see the tenant in the area. We went to the
barangay to give a copy of demand letter/eviction notice but we were informed that our
tenant has a lot of pending complaints and that the sumon letters they issued for him are not
received. We were also told that they may be in hiding already since the known relatives
living nearby have also left the area. What remedy do we have now? All their things are still
inside our property, but we were told by the barangay that they cannot just padlock the
house unless we have a court order.

We hope you can give us an advise. All we want is to get a new tenant. We dont even know
what to do with all their things, including a motorcycle parked in the garage. Thanks so
much.

Umuupa po kami ng studio type at hindi po kami hiningan ng deposit ng mayari. Monthly
basis po ang bayaran. Verbal contract lang. Nagabiso ang mayari na magpapatayo daw ng
bahay ang kapatid nya sa mismong daanan namin kaya pinapalayas na nya kami. Ang sabi
nya magsisimula daw magpagawa ang kapatid nya bago magpasukan this june pero
pinapaalis na kami agad ngayong may 15 at hinaharass ng pamangkin nyang pulis dahil
sasaraduhan daw nya kami ng daanan pag di pa kami umalis by may 18. Kulang pa po ang
panglipat ng asawa ko sa sweldong makukuha nya sa 15 kaya humihiling kami ng 2 weeks
pang palugit ngunit ayaw pumayag ng mayari. Kung kami po ay dudulog sa barangay,
mapagbibigyan po kaya kami ng palugit na 2 weeks na d na babayaran ang renta sa
panahon na yon kundi utilities lang ang babayaran namin?

Hello,

Just wanted to check what would be the next step if I still cannot get my Security Deposit.

The owner kept on delaying it I've done everything to ask for my deposit but I get the same
reason where the owner is not available to sign the cheque blah blah and that the owner did
not report for work that day or that the owner is on vacation, I don't think it is right to keep
me waiting and giving me promises.

I already had them blotter in the barangay however even after doing so they still fail to
provide me my security deposit.

I ended my contract with them on January 31 and it's already April but I still haven't got my
refund. It is way beyond 2 months already.

The contract says that the security deposit should be returned to me after 60 days

your help will be much appreciated.
