Naka-sangla po ang bahay namin (70-100k) for more than 15 years. My parents went through a hard financial times kaya po nila ito isinangla. We moved to a house also owned by Mrs. Old Lady (pinag sanglaan). Binawas na rin po niya sa amount ng sangla yung pag stay namen sa nilipitan namin na bahay. We lived in that house for 4 years and left without any damage sa property.
More than 15 years have past, balak na namen tubusin ang bahay namen... But the problem is, our house, where i spent my whole childhood life, is completely destroyed. Pinabayaan nila after nilang pakinabangan. Walang linya ng tubig at kuryente. During rainy season, parang water falls ang buong bahay.
In 2016, kinausap ng parents ko si Mrs. Old Lady na kung pwede sana hindi na namin bayaran or kahit half lang ng amount ng tubos ang ibalik namen because our house is completely damaged. Pero walang napagkasunduan both parties.
Is there any legal matters that could help us?
Should we just pay na lang and wait for years to save money para mapa-renovate ang bahay?
Thank you.
