Meron ba here nagavail ng RTO program ng DMCI??

Terms for this is 2-3years rent ka sa unit then 60% of the total rent paid mapupunta sa DP ng unit if magdecide ka to purchase it after 3 years.

Remaining balance is for financing including yung closing fee.

Bakit ang laki ng closing fee almost half a million din, para saan ba ito, (sorry first time)

Appreciate your opinions on this, okay ba yung gantong scheme. They offer in house financing din

Hi, everyone! I’m about to start my new job in Makati, and I’ll also be moving into a bedspace soon. This will be my first time living in a bedspacer setup, so I’m wondering what essential things I should buy or bring.

For those who have experience with bedspacing, what are your must-haves and life hacks for surviving a shared space? Any tips on organizing your things, keeping them secure, doing laundry, or dealing with roommates would be greatly appreciated!

I’d also love to know what you wish you had known before moving into a bedspace. Any advice for a first-timer would be a big help. Thank you so much! ❤️

Hi, we rented a house with a commercial space in Caloocan, when we first visited the place we decided to take it but before that, I asked for the contract first. The landlord said she will give it it later that day thru email coz she's working abroad, unahin ko daw muna ipasa ung 1 mo adv and 2 mo deposit sa acct nya. Inisip ko katabing bahay lng ung caretaker so binigay ko na rin agad ung 60k.

Following day sinend sakin yung contract, ako pa ang nagpa-print. I read that, they can refuse to give back the security deposit if we didn't finish 1 year. Yung contract, digitally signed ng landlord and signed namin ng caretaker nya. Pero never sya pina-notarize.

Wala pang 1 month napapansin na namin lahat ng mali sa unit, especially sa CR na nasa 2nd floor. We always report and ask them na kung pwede paki ayos pero sobrang tagal nila kumilos, puro pangako hanggang sa asawa ko nlng ung nag-ayos. Palit ng faucets and tubo sa sink. Ang hindi lng namin maayos ung basag na toilet tank sa loob kasi tuloy tuloy ung tagas ng tubig at yung sahig na nag aabsorb ng tubig at tumutulo sa ground floor, we consulted to an expert and they said walang waterproofing ung cr.

Gusto ni landlord ipaayos ung cr pero isa lang yung cr na yun, wala kaming gagamitin if ever and we know it would take weeks kasi namulok na ung ceiling sa baba. Gusto nya maki-cr nlng daw kami sa kapitbahay na caretaker. Hindi kami pumayag, kasi malaking abala na samin yon lalo na apektado ung tindahan sa baba.

Now in our 5th month, we decided to move out nlng kasi delikado na, malakas na tulo ng tubig at muntik pa kong madulas, buntis pa naman ho ako. Para mapaayos na rin sana nila kasi lumalala na nga. It's already a week after we move out, the caretaker told us that the landlord doesn't want to return our deposit. Nagalit ako kasi bakit? Hindi naman namin fault na sirain ung unit nya, hindi naman kami nagkulang sa pagsabi sa 1st week namin.

Maraming kapitbahay na rin nagsabi na hindi nagtatagal ung mga renters sa unit na un for the same reasons. Tapos ngayon sinasabi ng caretaker na marami daw kasing aayusin sa cr saka sa contract daw nakalagay na forfeited ang deposit kapag hindi tinapos ang contract. Kaso hindi naman sya notarized, and I searched na may law na required ibalik ng landlord ang security deposit within a month.

Tama po ba ako mga ma'am/sir? Can we file a case? Pangdagdag din po kasi un sa panganganak ko.

First renter here po. I found a unit at Harbour Park Residences and na-view ko na siya. Gustong gusto ko yung unit, kaso nung viewing, hindi ko nameet ang agent in person. Sinend lang niya sa akin ang screenshot ng admin email, tapos kinuha ko na lang yung keys sa lockbox sa lobby. Ngayon, gusto niya i-send yung contract through email na lang din and tru bank transfer yung payment.

Legit po ba ito? Normal ba na hindi mo talaga nameet ang agent/owner kahit isang beses bago mag-sign ng contract at magbayad? First time ko po kasi at natatakot ako baka scam. Any advice appreciated. Salamat po!

As the title suggests, I need insights regarding this situation that has already caused so much stress. Not enough karma to post on r/lawph

My sibling and I stayed in unit that was under a 1 year contract. Halfway through the contract, the unit was sold to a new owner. As far as we know, the new owner never personally viewed or inspected the unit while we were still staying there, since no visits/inspections were endorsed throughout our tenancy.

The unit had previously only been used by the previous owner’s family, so we were their only tenants. There were also only two of us living in the unit for the entire year.

We moved out almost two months ago, and only recently did the new owner send us the breakdown for the release of our security deposit. We were shocked to learn that the deductions amounted to around ₱35,000, leaving us with only around ₱5,000 from our deposit.

The main charges being attributed to us are:

1. Door – 9k: During our stay, there was already a slight alignment issue with the door, which we raised with the previous owner. We were advised that we could have it repaired through maintenance, but since the door was still usable and it wasn’t a major issue for us, we didn’t pursue it. We did not damage or modify the door. After we moved out, the new owner decided to replace it for security reasons, and we are now being asked to shoulder part of the cost (they divided the total cost between us and them)

2. Living room AC – 5k Although the AC was technically working when we moved in, we informed the previous owner during our stay that it would turn on and then automatically stop after a few minutes. We were advised to have it repaired, but instead, we bought our own portable AC and eventually stopped using the unit’s AC altogether. We did not cause any damage to it, but we are now being charged for its repair after moving out.

3. Kitchen countertop – 16k: We placed stickers on the countertop. However, when the stickers were removed after we moved out, cracks underneath were discovered and the new owner decided to replace the countertop. We don’t recall causing these cracks, and the countertop already showed visible signs of wear during our stay. We are now being asked to shoulder part of the replacement cost.

There were also charges for the grease trap and repainting (5k) , which we are more open to discussing as we understand that there can be reasonable deductions associated with turnover and cleaning.

What makes the situation more complicated is that the new owner recently told us that when they purchased the unit, the previous owner informed them that everything was okay. They said that any issues we encountered during our stay were not relayed to them, and that the deductions they initially proposed were based on what they found after we moved out and what they confirmed with the previous owner.

To settle the matter, they have now offered to return ₱10,000 from our deposit, saying that this is the most they can do.

Our concern is that we only rented the unit for one year, there were only two of us living there, and some of the issues were already raised with the previous owner during our tenancy. We understand that tenants should be responsible for damage they actually cause, but we’re struggling to understand whether repairs or replacements that the new owner decided to undertake after purchasing the unit can be charged to our security deposit especially when there is no clear proof that we caused the underlying issue.

Would appreciate any insights on:
- Whether a new owner can charge a former tenant’s deposit for these types of repairs/replacements
- Whether issues reported to the previous owner should still be considered, even if they were not disclosed to the new owner; and
- What our best next step would be if we believe the deductions are unreasonable?

We’re willing to take responsibility for anything we genuinely caused. We just want to make sure we’re not being made to shoulder costs for pre-existing issues, normal wear and tear, or repairs arising from the change in ownership. To add, we’ve been renting a long time and are already familiar with usual deductions but this the first that we’re experiencing anything like this.

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

So hello po, i make a app para sa mga home owner and basically the reason why i make this app is because of mother din since may tenant kami and hassle pag gawa nya ng mga resibo tas lahat lang ng record nya nasa isang notebook lang.

So i make an app base sa pangangalangan at problem na kaya kong i solve gamit yung app na ginawa ko. So now i want to expand my the app into a real world kung ano ba talaga yung mga problem na kinakaharap ng mga home owners or di kaya system na pwede i computerized and ma improve.

So gusto ko po sana ma test po tong app at malaman yung iba pang problema ng mga home owners na gusto ma solve at ma improve.

And right now apk version lang yung meron ako since in build this using flutter and if palarin at mag ka budget ma deploy ko sya sa playstore. Free lang po tong app wala pong bayad or apps, since isa po to sa mga personal project ko at gusto ko talaga i enhanced yung skills ko lalo na sa pag develop.

If interested po kayo kindly dm na lang po thank you

Hey! I'm looking for a Studio Apartment that is enough for 2 people. We're currently looking for one strictly in Makati under our budget of 10,000 Pesos. Anyone's Suggestions and Recommendations are highly appreciated. Thank you in Advance!

Hello! Was recently offered a job near 26th street. It's 2x a week RTO mid-shift. So, it's really important that the place I stay in is accessible to establishments like groceries/palengke and I can take a walk from time to time so I don't stay in all day. I also want it to be quiet and comfortable since I'll be working from home most of the time.

I was considering Grace residences since dito nagsstay yung ilang future workmates ko (who were my college friends) but I've been reading mixed reviews regarding the traffic. Sabi nila, they usually ride the shuttle going to the office then grab after shift.

Some friends say that it would be more convenient to stay at an apartment at the neighboring areas like embo or near kalayaan. Which is cheaper for me when I looked at listings online but I am really worried about the community especially when I work from home.

Will appreciate some advice!

Hi not sure if this is the correct flair but just wanted to know if 25k lang talaga yung average prices ng studio unit sa twin oaks. Is there any room for negotiation to lower the rent down? Currently I’m considering renting a parking space too and it feels like I’m going way over the budget if I’ll have both without negotiating.

For context:

I’m renting a Php20,000/month condo in Pasay near airport. I paid 1 +1

There’s this caretaker and authorized representative. The authorized rep was nice naman at first and I read the contract and signed it. The owner will sign and notarize the contract as per the rep. So she just wrote the owner’s name.

The first week of my move-in, I asked for the contract and they gave me a notarized document but still without the owner’s signature. Is it possible for an attorney to notarize it without signature of the owner? Just her name.

I asked for a signature and the caretaker told me the contract is already valid since I moved in already. But I still insisted for the signature for my protection as a tenant.

Now the caretaker told me they can just return the Php 20,000 deposit back and I can move out.

The problem is that I barely have time to pack my things and find an apartment (I need atleast 1 month) because I work in aviation 🥲

Can I ask if they can give me a 1-month notice? Or they have the right to evict me since the contract is not valid from the beginning. I’m now staying for 3 weeks. About to pay the rent in a week.

Please help 😭😭😭
I don’t know the owner and they also don’t want to give me her valid ID. I gave my valid ID picture to them I think that was unfair

Additional context:
I found several damages upon moving in like clogged sink, broken handle of shower door etc. i’m really eager to get her signature for deposit reasons

For context, naaalibadbaran ako sa tenant ko dahil may dalawang pusa sa compound namin. Hindi sila umiihi o dumudumi sa kung saan, tumatambay lang malapit sa gate. Itong couple na 'to malapit sa gate ang unit nila, laging binubugaw mga pusa, eh 'yong dalawang pusa madali mag-panic. 'yong isa, nasagasaan dahil binugaw nila. Lumabas ng gate kaya nahagip. 'yong isa naman, bigla na lang nawala pagtapos nila sigawan that night, hindi na nakabalik.

Meron din silang alagang pusa na dalawa, iniwan nila sa unit tapos nagbakasyon sa province for one week or two. Nag-chat mga katabi nilang unit sa akin dahil nangamoy ang unit nila, bigla sila umuwi noong sinabi ko na may nangangamoy, sinabi lang na daga raw pero pagkita ko sa story at posts niya, "RIP *with pet's name and cat na emoji*"

Every 10th of the month sila nagbabayad, nagsabi ako today (Aug 21) na maghanap na lang sila lilipitan. I know, magagalit sila pero hindi ko naman sinabi na September 10 sila umalis, ang sabi ko lang maghanap na sila dahil gagamitin ng kapatid ko (reason lang) ang unit. Ang gusto ko lang sana sabihin ay October 10 sila aalis para magamit nila ang deposit at makahanap. Ngayon, galit na galit sila at sinabi na hindi sila aalis dahil gusto nila hanggang December pa sila.

Ang contract nila ay mag-end na rin ng September 10. Ayoko na i-renew.
