Your site is a great help but I do have specific questions that were not covered by the discussion about tenants and landlords. I am managing a house in Makati that has 7 rooms being rented out to female tenants exclusively at a rental rate of PHP 3000 to 3800 per room. I am currently have 8 tenants. Here are my concerns: 1. I would like to know if Philippine laws have regulations for this type of rentals. 2. How do I evict a tenant without violating the Philippine laws? 3. If my tenant violates the House Rules, can I use that act of violation as sufficient ground for eviction? I have been managing this property for only a year so any information that you can provide me would definitely be of great help. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Janice

I am a tenant and would like to terminate my lease of contract before expiration for personal and health reason because I am living in the 5th floor without elevator . Can I get my 2 months deposit from my landlord? My present contract state's that "If the tenant terminate the lease of contract before expiration thereof for whatever cause or reason, the security deposit shall be automatically forfeited by the landlord in favor of the landlord since the parties agree that the term of this contract has been fixed for the benefit of the landlord?" I dont have any idea about philippine law.. How can I terminate my contract . Can I consume my security deposit as rental fee or by non payment of utility bills. I just want to get or use my security deposit by any means. thank you

I would like to ask .. our tenant has not paid for 9 months now and we have summon letters from the barangay already for eviction.. the last receipt we issued was sept 2007.. but it is for a different period, but left it blank because he was delayed and i don't have my records with me.. can he tell us or the barangay that his last payment is sept 2007 when in fact it is only the date i received the payment and not the month or the period the payment is for?

I would like to consult regarding our present situation, first of all we've been renting for 19 yrs now and it is our fourth landlord. curently we are paying less than the other units and our new landlord just started not collecting our rental, we were advcie by the caretaker that our unit will be repaired
and after we can rent again but a higher price. basically we didn't ask for repairs, we just do it on our own expense. do you fine this fair? what would be the best compromise? thank you.
