(3) Maintain the tenant in a peaceful and reasonable enjoyment of the tenancy agreement for the duration of the contract. (1554 bis) Article 1667. The tenant is responsible for the deterioration or loss of the rented thing, unless he proves that it happened without his fault. This burden of proof does not apply to the tenant if the destruction is due to earthquakes, floods, storms or other natural disasters. (1563 bis) The tenant is still in the unit 15 days after the expiry of the tenancy agreement and neither party has been informed in advance that the contract has been renewed, but within a different time frame set by the courts. Hello I just want to know what the legal measure is about my problem now. The apartment I wanted to rent has an advance of 1 month and a deposit of 2 months before I move in. Since I didn`t really have any money at the time, I only made a 2 month deposit and promised that I would send the money after 2 days. But after a day, I decided not to rent the house because it was really small. We haven`t really signed the contract yet, because we haven`t moved yet.

Our plan to move is after two days. The secretary never told me that the deposit could not be refunded. When I asked for the money, the secretary told me that the money could not be repaid and that we could no longer get it. Please advise the right under Philippine laws for rental? Money is 15,000phep. Pls, counselor. Thank you for your time In a monthly contract form, you would be asked to pay the monthly rent in advance and go to a deposit. The surety, which earns fixedly and without interest, is used for damages and other monetary debts at the end of the tenancy agreement excluding rent. The balance will be refunded within a specified period of time after the contract expires. You should take note of this “certain delay,” which must be explicitly stated, since many disputes result from the repayment of the deposit. Good morning! We have just received a subpoena today from the Barangay lupon, our landlord having filed a complaint against us for the unpaid electricity bill (which led to the separation) and the unpaid rent. My situation is this, we have a deposit of 2 months and a month in advance to the owner, but later in September we were not able to pay for the month until Ocotber. That`s why we decided to change houses by the end of November.

We have informed the owner that we will only pay the September balance of 1,500 in the months of October and November of 4,000 (monthly). If that is the case, we still have an additional 2,500 euros. Is that legal? We do not have a formal contract or at all. And on the electricity bill, we promised to pay him this weekend his sweldo and the owner did not respond or anything. It is only now that we discover that he has filed a complaint with barangay. My questions are: is it normal to pay our rent this way? Isn`t it a thing to come before the brgy tonight?s please help me. asap in. Thank you very much! A residential rental agreement is used when a landlord wishes to rent or lease a property to a tenant for residential and possibly residential purposes.
