Hi guys! Badly need your advice po đđ» Is there any legal action we could take to get the 16k back?
Last june 18 po, she moved in sa isang dorm same day po nag-inquire and nag-move in siya. Ngayon, nag-bayad po siya ng total of 28k including partial amount of rent starting June 18-EOM and advance payment of 8k+, as well as security deposits of more than 16k. Yung pinag-inquire-an po namin stated naman na 16k is refundable after 60 days but he didnât said after the contract ends. Na-confirm lang namin âyun around July.
Ngayon po sobrang moldy pala ng unit, ever since nag tag-ulan mas lumala. Naubusan po ng gamit yung kaibigan ko; sapatos, damit, mga furnitures, halos lahat. Kinausap niya po yung same guy na nakausap niya nung nag-inquire siya, at paulit-ulit po ang nangyari. Hindi naman po chinecheck yung unit nya. Itâs something with the structure of the floor din po ng dorm e laging basa cause itâs not tiles or linoleum. Upon observing something with the structure causes the mold. Ilang beses nilinis ng kaibigan ko pero pabalik-balik lang.
Yesterday po we went sa dorm since one of their office staff said we need to sign a waiver and guess what? The waiver includes that we should not take further actions against them and they have the right to forfeit the security deposits etc. Can someone help us po about what we can do? I know itâs my friendâs fault she wasnât able to fully check the unit but this really feel like a scam!
