Apartment Business in the Philippines for OFWs: HOW TO SCREEN TENANTS | Retired OFW

[@PausePraySimplify]

How about you? If you're a landlord, how do you screen your tenants? Share share so we can learn together! 😊

[@arseniosierra329]

yearly po ba increase nang rental?

[@PausePraySimplify]

Hi Arsenio! Depende po ito sa location ng apartment at renta ninyo. Ayon sa Rent Control Act of 2009, maaaring magtaas ng renta kada taon sa Metro Manila at Highly Urbanized Cities (HUC) kung same tenant din ang titira dito. Pero applicable lang ito sa may renta na Php10k and below. Meron ring limitasyon ang pagtaas ng rent ayon sa batas. So kung nasa MM o HUC ang apartment mo at ang kung ang renta ng Unit mo ay Php4,999 pababa, maaari mong taasan ang monthly rent ng 2% kung same tenant pa rin ang titira. Sa apartment naman na Php5k - Php8,999 ang renta, 7% ang pwede itaas. Kapag Php9k to Php10k naman ang renta, maaaring magtaas ng 11%. So halimbawa, ang parenta mo ay Php5,500 kada buwan ng 2020, kung nasa MM or HUC ang apartment mo at same tenant pa rin ang titira sa 2021, pwede kong taasan ng 7% o Php385 kada buwan ang renta after ng 1 year doon ng tenant. So magiging Php5,885 per month na ang rent. Pwede mo nang isarado sa Php5,800. Sa amin, nasa HUC nakalocate ang apartment namin. May tenants kami na nandun na mula nang magbukas kami 4 years ago awa ng Diyos. Pero di pa kami nagtaas ng renta kahit minsan. Balak sana namin magtaas sa 2021 after 5 years, pero dahil sa pandemic, iniisip pa namin kung makakabawi na ba ang tenants next year. We will see. Pasensya na medyo mahaba. Sana nakatulong! 😊

@@PausePraySimplify ate jah na experience ko po nagka tenant ako 7month hnd nagbayad 😔 ..at ask ko lang din po kung nagbibigay pa po ba kayo ng resibo sa mga tenant nio kapag nagbayad na ng rent?

[@PausePraySimplify]

Aduy 7 months? Ang tagal nun. Buti nakakauwi pa sila at nahaharap kayo? Paano nangyari na 7 months? Yes po, we issue receipts.

[@PausePraySimplify]

Never pa po kami nag-increase ng rent. Supposedly nung 2020 ang plan to increase. Kasi nag-pandemic kaya hinold muna namin.

[@mellvinvlog]

Mam isa din akong landlord and nagvavlog din about rental property. Nablessed ako sa mga shinare mo hindi lang dahil sa mga information kung hindi sa pagpeprayer about rental property. Nablessed ako sayo ng sobra today.

Yes we do have that stuff checked for apartment rentals sa US. And the usual thing, one month advance and one month deposit. Prayer helps a lot.

I agree with you to pray for your tenants, their jobs b'coz when they are blessed, you are bless as well! Amen!

[@AndraidaHIsmael]

Thank u po sa advices..agree po ako dapat sa lahat ng ating gagawin samahan po ntin ng matinding dasal💖Godbless po💖

[@PausePraySimplify]

God bless you too!!!😊

[@hiropro2002]

Isang filter for us is the Security Deposit. If they can't pay for it up front, then it's a flag na baka hindi nila kaya magbayad ng rent in the future. But then again, as you always said it's not always 100% full proof. Nung pandemic we were lenient on the Security Deposit. :)

[@ShareOnlyGood]

Hi sis Janice ang bait mong lessor sis tama yun sis ipagpray tlg natin na bigyan tayo ni LORD ng mbuting katiwala na tenant at kung may oasaway si LORD na nawa ang gumawa ng way na umalis nlng sila.

[@PausePraySimplify]

Hello Sis! 😊 Apologies for the uber late reply. 🙏 Naku grasya ng Panginoon lang. Minsan mahirap din maging mabait pero ang Panginoon naman ineextend niya ang grace sa atin. And praise God kasi nung nagkaroon ng pasaway na tenants ay Siya na bahala. Umalis nalang ng kusa. Salamat sa Diyos. 😊

Hi Rafael!!! Thank you thank you!!! I'm glad the blog was helpful!!! 😊 it's feedback like this that keeps us going. 😊 By the way, since you mentioned the contract already, we have an important video about it coming up later this week, baka bukas Friday or Saturday. Editing pa ako now😅. It will help you a lot if you have an apartment business or plan to have one. Hope you could be part of our community so you could be updated of our future uploads. 😊 P.S.

[@zaisanwahanei9746]

Hi Ja, thanks for this wonderful video..screening tenants is actually the hardest part in a rental business..so i think the most important thing at the end of the day is a well drafted contract for both parties to have a common written ground rules. goodluck and more power to all landlords out there.

[@PausePraySimplify]

Hi Zaisan! It's my pleasure! I agree. Mahirap talaga magscreen ng tenants lalo na kung nasampolan na ng mga tenants na medyo pasaway. Haysh. I will speak to a lawyer regarding the contract. I'm not sure din kasi if legally binding ba itong ginawa namin na sinignan din naman ng tenants. Sa Dubai oo, yung contents ng contract namin dito pinattern lang namin sa Ejari or sa Standard Lease Agreement doon. Yun lang ang recognized ng government and police. Protected parehas ang landlord and tenant. But I will check din kung pwede talaga siya dito sa Pinas para magamit din dito.

Good day mam Janice, ask ko lang if 1 unit lang ang apartment na paupahan ay need pa bang ipa register sa BIR? and need din ba get business permit? Salamat in advance for your response. Anna

[@PausePraySimplify]

Hello good afternoon po. Technically po lahat ng business ay dapat registered sa BIR. Bahay po ba paparentahan niyo? Kung di halata na parentahan siya, and walang chance na macheck kayo ng BIR, yung ganun po na case na iba ay di na sila nagaregister sa BIR. Lalo na kung isang unit lang. Pero kayo po maga decide niyan kung paparegister kayo or hindi. Thanks for watching! 😊

How much do charge for security deposit?

[@PausePraySimplify]

Hi! Equivalent to one month's rent.

[@reymalakwatsera4517]

Thank you for another informative video. Question, since you used Kuya Paengs? service before to take care of your apartment, do you treat him as your employee? How do you compensate him? Curious lang how it works kung sakaling hindi mo mismo matutukan ang apartment since ofw ka and you need the help of others to oversee your rental property. Thanks Ja. God bless you both always.

[@PausePraySimplify]

Hi Reyma! 😊 Yes yes, parang ganun na nga. But part-time job niya yung apartment kasi marami rin siyang raket and may business pa kami na isa pa together. So for the apartment, may love gift siya monthly. Ang tasks nya ay yung mag entertain ng inquiries kapag may vacancy (text or online), meet ng tenants for viewing, and rent collection kapag month end. Kung may aayusin, either siya kung kaya or karpentero talaga. Pero hiwalay din yun. 😊

[@reymalakwatsera4517]

@@PausePraySimplify I see thank your for your response. That makes sense. Part time I mean. Good idea.

[@PausePraySimplify]

Oo, Reyma, kasi di naman siya required magwork doon all day. Pupunta lang pag kailangan na for collections, meter reading, and viewing. Ayun. Okies sige. 👍

How do you explain to applicant if you are about to turn them down

[@PausePraySimplify]

Hi Ebenezer! Thanks for your question. Bale sinasabi lang po namin diretso na may tenant requirements din po kami. Like for example may gusto mag rent pero tumutugtog daw sila and medyo maingay during the day, sinasabi namin na hindi po pwede dahil mga nagtatrabaho sa call center ang karamihan ng aming tenants. Kapag sa pera naman kasi ang issue like mataas na rent, kapag di talaga pasok sa budget nila, sila na mismo ang hindi tumutuloy. We also give restrictions against overcrowding as per the Builfing Code. So tinatanong namin agad ilan ang tititra. Kung sobrang dami, we tell them pasensya na and we tell them the truth that (1) it's for their own good dahil 'di maganda overcrowding, and (2) bawal sa batas yun. Basta importante po say it nicely and be firm. We (landlords) have very right to refuse. That's our property. Pero be nice pa rin tayo.

What is the best and effective way to evict a none paying tenants? Example they are not paying for 5 months.

[@j.a5917]

Pag kaka alam ko may law po na until 3 months lang na pwede mag stay ang tenants na di nakajabayad after nyan pwede na force eviction with the help of police

[@PausePraySimplify]

Aw, I'm so sorry Karen. Ang haba na ng 5 months. Dahil ba ito sa pandemic? Tama po si Jayz sa comment niya. Sabi sa Rent Control Act 2009, after 3 months na di makabayad ang tenant, saka palang pwede kumuha ng Court Order para maevict ang delinquent na tenant.
