Hi Fish83.


You mentioned try to raise the rent,,,,,, have they? This is the Philippines and all is negotiable and when not simply find another seller or as Cliff mentioned move on.

Rents rise, prices rise, my experience nothing ever become cheaper.


Good luck.


Cheers, Steve.

Move on, they are going to have to find a new tenant and lose out on rent for a while until they find the new tenant.

Because they can.

All prices increase. To keep up with the cost of running a rental property, landlords need to increase their prices too.

There is a residential rent control law that the annual increase cannot be more than 2.3%. Units with rents exceeding PHP10,000 ($171) per month are exempted from this restriction.

When was the last increase, or, how long has your rent stayed at current rate?
