RE: Unit 2B, 15 Sampaguita Street, Barangay Poblacion, Quezon City 1100, Philippines · RLA-2B-2026
Dear Juan D. Reyes:
1. Parties, authority, and premises
Maria L. Santos, of 15 Sampaguita Street, Barangay Poblacion, Quezon City 1100, Philippines, issues this notice as the lessor or duly authorized claimant. Maria L. Santos is the registered owner and named lessor under the signed lease; the current title copy, tax declaration, lease, and identification are retained with the notice file.
The premises is Unit 2B, 15 Sampaguita Street, Barangay Poblacion, Quezon City 1100, Philippines. Second-floor residential apartment Unit 2B, approximately 45 square meters, with one bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, one electric meter, one water submeter, and two issued keys. Known persons occupying or claiming under the Lessee: The lessee's spouse and one minor child are known occupants; no separate lease or independent claim has been identified.
2. Lease and current legal route
The parties' written lease is identified as Residential Lease Agreement, dated January 1, 2026, commencing January 1, 2026 and ending December 31, 2026. Current monthly base rent is ₱9,000.00, ordinarily due on day 5.
The Premises is a residential unit renting for ₱9,000.00 a month and is currently covered by the 2025–2026 rent-control issuance: Republic Act No. 9653 and NHSB Resolution No. 2024-01.
Contractual notice and cure terms: Section 12 requires written notice to the premises and the stated email, allows five calendar days to cure monetary default after actual receipt, and preserves lawful termination and judicial remedies after uncured material default. Recorded prior course of dealing: The January through May 2026 rent was paid on time; no prior extension, waiver, accepted late-payment pattern, or inconsistent demand is shown in the lease ledger or message file.
3. Specific grounds and supporting facts
The good-faith grounds stated in this notice are: nonpayment of rent.
Rent of PHP 9,000 fell due on 5 June, 5 July, and 5 August 2026. No cleared payment or supported credit for those periods appears in the reconciled ledger through 30 August 2026 despite the identified lease obligation.
Supporting records: Signed lease RLA-2B-2026; period-by-period rent ledger; January-May receipts; June-August bank records; authenticated messages; title/tax declaration; and the exact notice package retained by the lessor.
4. Reconciled account
The attached period-by-period ledger states base-rent arrears of ₱27,000.00 for 3 month(s), covering June 1, 2026 through August 31, 2026. After payments, credits, and any applied deposit, the unpaid base rent is ₱27,000.00, equal to 3 months' rent and covering 3 due dates. This meets the statutory total of three (3) months of arrears (Republic Act No. 9653, Section 9(b)). June 2026: PHP 9,000 due 5 June, PHP 0 paid, balance PHP 9,000. July: PHP 9,000 due 5 July, PHP 0 paid, cumulative PHP 18,000. August: PHP 9,000 due 5 August, PHP 0 paid, cumulative PHP 27,000.
Other due utilities/lease charges: ₱0.00. Supported late fees/interest: ₱0.00. Payments and credits: ₱0.00. Deposit already applied on a stated basis: ₱0.00. Gross stated charges are ₱27,000.00; total credits are ₱0.00; the net amount demanded as of the notice date is ₱27,000.00.
No additional utility or other lease charge is included.
No late fee or interest is included.
No separate payment or credit is deducted beyond the attached ledger.
No security deposit is treated as an automatic payment or deduction in this demand.
The Lessor reports no prior refusal of a conforming rent tender after checking the known record.
No specific defense or accounting dispute is presently known; the Lessee may promptly identify one with supporting records.
5. Formal twin demand: pay or comply, and vacate if not cured
The Lessee is formally demanded (1) to pay ₱27,000.00 and fully cure every remediable selected breach no later than September 5, 2026, and (2) if full timely cure does not occur, to vacate and peacefully surrender the premises no later than September 5, 2026. These are the payment/compliance and possession aspects of the demand; lawful cure, waiver, termination, accrual, and filing consequences depend on the lease, actual receipt, and applicable law.
Payment and receipt route: Payment by verified bank transfer or other cleared method to the account confirmed directly with the Lessor, followed by a written receipt and updated ledger.
Response and payoff contact: Contact the Lessor through the verified address, email, or telephone stated in this notice for a payoff statement, receipt, or documented dispute. A partial payment is credited to the verified account but does not waive the unpaid balance, possession demand, or another right unless the Lessor expressly agrees in a signed writing.
Surrender procedure: Schedule a joint final inspection, meter reading, inventory and condition report, removal of personal property, return of every key/access device, and signed turnover receipt.
