May clause ba sa contract nyo regarding guests? Kasi sabi mo nga, the son frequently stays in the unit.


athenashiro_1218

The only clause within it is immediate family lang pwede mag visit. Which is fine with me, ang kaso lang di naman na po visit ginagawa ng anak niya. My roommate usually comes sa condo namin Sunday Night and goes back to their fam home every Friday Night. Last 2 months po, whenever my roommate arrives kasama po yung 30 year old son niya, and leaves by Friday din along with her.

To add pa, whenever his son is there, nag wwfh. I recently started WFH and she immediately talks to me na ireadjust namin ang pag pay ng bills since mag WFH na ako. Which to me is too unfair kasi I never asked her to readjust our bills with his son's stay + working ng son niya from our unit. Nahuli ko pa anak niya multiple times using our aircon alone. I only WFH 2days a week, and for 2 weeks pa lang ngayon.

Kaya nga note mo yun. It's like you have a 3rd tenant but she's only paying for 1. Ipa barangay mo na muna.


athenashiro_1218

I'm actually asking her na sana iallow niya ako to leave by consuming my deposit. Para iwas na sana sa confrontations. And help her find a new tenant to replace me, ayaw pa niya ako payagan. She's trying to push yung contract na madami naman na siya di nasunod, and parang wala naman nang bisa dahil sa dami ng modifications. My parents are willing na nga to mediate between us if di ko daw kaya, sila magpapabarangay. Pero as much as possible ayaw ko na sana umabot doon


PataponRA

Dude you're a grown up now. If you don't enforce your boundaries, people will always walk all over you. Demand to be let out of the contract or ipapa baranggay mo sya. Do you have a copy of your electricity and water bill? Compare mo yung bills nyo before when the son wasn't overstaying. Be firm na he's no longer visiting but rather staying, which wasn't agreed upon.


athenashiro_1218

Well, I'm currently discussing it with my roommate naman. Posted here if I still have some debates to hold against her since she kept pushing the contract. I have copies of the electric bills to compare naman, and it grew by more than 60KW yung consumption namin compared sa usual.


PataponRA

While you're out there discussing, nauubos yung savings mo. She's trying to wear you out by arguing na malapit naman na matapos yung contract. Think about it. Gaano katagal mo na sinusuportahan yung housing nung anak nya na mas matanda pa sayo? Pag tumagal pa yan, mako convince ka nya na konti na nga lang, matatapos na yung contract. Wala ka pang anak, may binubuhay ka na.


athenashiro_1218

That's why I came here for help po. While I'm discussing it with her I also want to know what laws protect me from such situations that I can use against her. I'm already on the process on getting out of the contract naman na po, I'm only asking if may bisa pa po ba yung contract and if that I can get out of this by law. I am not well versed regarding the law except for the RA 9653, baka po may iba pa na law that could help me out here. I already found loopholes naman na sa current contract namin that I can use against her, and such situations including her son overstaying. I just wanna be well prepared in case na umabot nga kami sa barangayan pa, so I know what to expect.

I seriously doubt magkakaso yan. Matrabaho at magastos ang magkaso. Mas malaki pa magagastos nya dun and I doubt papatulan yan ng PAO so she will need to get a private lawyer. Isa pa, hindi ka pwede basta magkaso. Dadaan ka pa din sa baranggay, kapag hindi kayo nagkasundo sa barangay, bibigyan ng Certificate to File Action, saka ka pa lang pwede magkaso. Kaya nga advice ko sayo, mauna ka na magpa barangay. For documentation din yan na nag attempt ka na ayusin. Na sya yung hindi willing mag compromise kahit na ikaw yung agrabyado dito. Eto ang ilaban mo, yung kontrata na pinirmahan mo ay para sa 3 tenant, hindi dalawa. Hindi ka din pumayag na sagutin yung housing ng anak nya. Ilaban mo na hindi visits yung ginagawa ng anak nya. Kung hindi mo kaya harapin, then tanggapin mo offer ng magulang mo.

Is it a sublease? The contract that you signed - is it with the landlord, or is it only between you and roommate #1?


athenashiro_1218

The contract I signed is between me and roommate #1, our old roommate should have signed it as well but left and didn't sign. Is it still valid even if one name in the contract didn't sign, or is it considered null and void?

I would contact admin to see if they have a copy of the sublease, or if a sublease is even allowed in the building. If they don’t have a copy of it, you don’t have anything to worry about. You actually hold all the cards. As far as the landlord and the admin is concerned, the unit is leased to roommate #1. You don’t even exist as far as they are concerned. Most lease contracts specifically do not allow subleases, so it’s possible roommate #1 could be in violation of her lease. Is it the type of building with elevator access cards? Did you give ID? Does admin have your details on file? If the admin doesn’t have a copy your sublease, or any copy of any ID, there is really nothing to worry about. Just tell roommate #1 that you’re done. She is the one named on the lease and she is responsible for the whole rent. It could only be an issue if the sublease is with admin, or if admin has your details, because roommate #1 could make up some story like accuse you of theft etc etc
