Document background
The Letter of Demand to Vacate Property is a critical legal instrument in Philippine property law, used when a property owner or authorized representative needs to formally request the vacation of their property by current occupants. This document is typically employed when lease agreements have expired, terms have been violated, or the property needs to be recovered for other legally valid reasons. The letter must comply with Philippine Civil Code requirements and, where applicable, the Rent Control Act of 2020. It serves as documentary evidence of the formal demand and is often a prerequisite before initiating ejectment proceedings in court. The document should be drafted with careful attention to legal requirements, including proper notice periods, specific grounds for eviction, and clear identification of all parties and the property involved.
