FLAT issue..need ur friendly advise...
The flat am managing now is formerly owned by one man (kababayan) which collected deposit from the tenants (3 rooms. The flat was taken out from him by the building owner since he cant remit the rental on time (as per check due date).For humanitarian reasons, he still occupying one room in my flat because he have nowhere to go and still cant returned the deposit of the tenants. However, for God's sake its been 3 months that he always pay me whatever amount that he want, he cannot pay his rent in full which causes me headaches and problems in dealing with the payment of checks at the bank. I want to thrown him out of the flat, but what about those deposit that he collected from the other tenants in that flat? Am I liable for that? they pay their deposit to that person and not to me...! I need your thoughts...huhuhu pls help.
Kabayan, you should have cleared the deposit issues first with the owner of the villa even before you took over the rental management. Better if you discuss the deposits with the villa owner soon and eject the former landlord as your tenant before he accumulates the amount of his delayed payments. Do you have a contract with him? Tell him that you would report him to the police, which of course you could do.
Sorry, not understood.
