Document background
An Eviction Notice To Vacate is a crucial legal document used in the Philippine real estate and property management sector when a landlord needs to formally require a tenant to leave a property. This notice must comply with Philippine law, particularly the Civil Code of the Philippines and the Rent Control Act, which establish specific requirements for valid eviction notices. The document is typically used when there are lease violations, non-payment of rent, property sale, or when the landlord needs the property for personal use. The notice must include specific information such as the property details, grounds for eviction, and the timeframe for vacation, usually giving tenants a reasonable period to vacate as prescribed by law. This document serves as the first formal step in the eviction process and may be used as evidence in subsequent legal proceedings if the tenant fails to comply.
