problem with the tenant of our condo unit

[CVT]

Basta wala nang susunod pang pakiusap bro... Malayo na ang kanilang natatakbo na walang bayad (4-5months),- bumabaon lang sila sa utang na baka hindi na nila mabayaran....

kung walang pambayad.....kunin mo yung mga gamit, huwag mo ipalabas pag alis nila.

I agree. Call it a loss and move forward. Get the condo back on the rental market and find a new tenant immediately. Lesson learned; draw up a contract for the next tenant and you likewise should have rental and utilities deposit which you set aside and return to the tenant when he leaves (unless may arrears on any, or damages to the unit).

Yes, Vinj, ganun na nga lang siguro mangyayari. although umaasa pa din ako na magbabayad sila tomorrow as promised.

kung prepaid electric meter ang na-install mo, wala sana itong problema

lagyan mo na ng prepaid electric meter yung mga properties mo for rent

isang unit lang naman po ito at sa kapatid ko. anyway, puwede bang maging ganito ang meter nya even if nasa condo? Thanks.

actually ako mismo nagulat kasi last week ko lang nalaman na going 5months na silang hindi nagbabayad. it only means since nag start sila umupa hindi sila nagbabayad ng electric bill. August 2010 sila lumipat. at ang reason nakakalimutan daw, terrible talaga.

ayaw ko ng gawin ito kasi baka magkagulo lang, at sabi din ng guard sa condo, wala din daw masyado gamit sila. semi-furnished po kasi ang unit. if tomorrow hindi pa din magbayad, kausapin ko na lang na umalis kesa lalo lang silang mabaon. Thanks.

puede mong gawing sub-meter sa meter mo mismo

but you have to talk to your condo admin regarding the installation

Thanks Galant E SS.

hindi ko sila nagawan ng contract kasi sa una pa lang nilang lipat, medyo mali na, lumipat sila na nakiusap lang na bukas na ang bayad kasama kapitbahay namin, pumayag naman ako kasi naawa ako sa kanila. in short, di sila nakabigay ng tamang deposit at advance.

nangako sila na this tuesday daw babayaran meralco bill nila so maybe i'll just wait, sana nga magbayad.

ang hirap pag naaawa ka sa ibang tao, ikaw ang nagiging kawawa sa huli...

it doesn't matter if you don't have a written contract. just follow my advice as i've said before, as follows: write a demand letter to them, for them to pay the back rentals and to vacate the condo unit, let's say within 30 days from receipt thereof. should they fail to vacate the premises, you go to the office of the Barangay Chairman where the condo is located to settle your dispute. If he/they still do not vacate, you request the Brgy. Chairman to issue a Certification to file action. Then, you secure the services of a lawyer to file a case against them for Unlawful Detainer with Damages. Be it noted however, that this case must be filed within 1 year from the date of your demand letter, and this case is summary in nature, so it is more speedy trial than an ordinary action for recovery of possession of the condo unit. So, take note of the 1 year period.
don't dare to break open their door and oust their things without a court order. baka mamya, ikaw pa ang makasohan ng civil and/or criminal case at ikaw pa ang pagkaperahan nila. trust my advice dude, i'm a lawyer by profession.

pa disconnect mo yung electric and water then get the services of a lawyer to get the back rentals. next time ask/require the tenant to issue post dated checks for rentals.
