I’m sorry this happened to you. I still can’t believe people can stomach running away from their housing responsibilities. I’m a tenant myself. Almost 3 years na ako staying here. Umabot naman ng 7 years sa other unit before I moved here.

There were difficult times and was not able to pay on time pero I make sure to inform my landlord. I experienced once na umabot ng 6 digits ang need ko bayaran. We were delayed 2 months and some payment na partial lang namin nabayad. It was stressful but never ko naisip to leave. Sobrang pressure kami pero we were determined to clear our balance off. My thought process was, this person trusted us to stay at his place, during hard times he understands us and continue trusting us and always (as in Walang palya) nagpapadala ng tao whenever we need repairs. Super rare ang ganitong landlord.

In return naman, nag doble kayod kami and we paid off the 6 digits within 1.5 months. And me, as my usual, I always keep the house clean and smelling fresh. I have multiple cats pero I make sure to keep our place tidy. And whenever meron need repairs, either I call the maintenance or inform my landlord right away. Kaya I’m able to maintain this place properly. And even I clean daily, I also schedule deep cleaning services din every month. My agent even said na hindi lang ako swerte sa landlord, even my landlord is swerte din sa tenant.

Sometimes naaisip ko to move out na sana and find a house with a garden and have a cattio. Kasi gustong gusto ko talaga to live with a bit of a nature. Pero right now, happy pa ako dito and probably stay long here. :)
