Renting

Renting in the Philippines

Finding a rental, sending an enquiry and what to expect on the lease.

Send an enquiry

Every rental on ravelo has an enquiry form. Your message and contact details go only to that listing's advertiser. You can ask questions or request a viewing time.

Deposits and advance rent

Landlords commonly ask for a security deposit plus advance rent. The listing shows the deposit and lease terms when the advertiser provides them. Always get a receipt.

The lease

Read the lease for the term, renewal, who pays association dues and utilities, and the rules for getting your deposit back. Take dated photos of the unit when you move in.
