Document background
The Five Day Eviction Notice is a crucial legal document used in the Philippine real estate sector when a landlord needs to formally initiate the process of removing a tenant from their property. This notice is required under Philippine law before pursuing formal eviction proceedings through the courts. It serves multiple purposes: officially informing the tenant of the intention to evict, specifying the reasons for eviction (such as non-payment of rent, lease violations, or property damage), and providing the tenant with a legally mandated five-day period to either remedy the situation or vacate the premises. The document must comply with specific requirements under the Civil Code of the Philippines and local housing regulations, including proper service of notice and clear documentation of the grounds for eviction. It's an essential tool in property management that balances landlord rights with tenant protections under Philippine law.
