Good to know: Covers the usual Philippine terms: monthly rent, advance and security deposit, who pays utilities, repairs, no subleasing, pets, inspection with notice, renewal and return of deposit. If the unit is covered by the Rent Control Act (RA 9653, low-rent residential units), the law limits the advance rent (1 month), deposit (2 months) and yearly increases — check current coverage before setting amounts. Sign two or more copies (one for each party). Notarizing makes it a public document that is easier to enforce. Template only — not legal advice, and using it does not create a lawyer–client relationship. For property, large amounts, employment disputes or court matters, have a lawyer review it before signing.
How to use it (step by step)
- 1Fill in the boxes. Leave a box empty if you prefer to write it by hand — it becomes a blank line.
- 2Check the preview (on the right, or below on a phone). It updates as you type.
- 3Press “Download Word” to edit it in Word / Google Docs, or “Download PDF” for a file ready to print or send. Read every line before signing.
- 4Sign it (and have it notarized if the “Good to know” box says so). Bring a valid ID to the notary.
Words to know
- Chargeback / dispute
- When a customer asks their bank to reverse a payment. Too many hurt a business.
- Public vs private IP
- Your router gives each device a private IP (like 192.168.1.5) at home. The internet only sees one public IP for your whole house.
- App signing / keystore
- Every app is signed with a private key (kept in a keystore file). Updates must be signed with the same key, so never lose it.
