Help! My husband and I came to the PI fir medical treatment. A simple knee repair turned into a triple by-pass. Our children came from the US to help us as we both were in the hospital. They rented aBnB condo on our behalf.
The owner has not provided us with the services advertised in the BNB website. He is claiming we need to replace propane gas for cooking, pay 2-months electric and water because he did not take a reading when we moved in. He demanded cash payment up front including deposit.
We were in the hospital for 12-days after the condo was rented. When we were finally able to come to the condo we began to try and deal with these problems. The owner is unreasonable and difficult to work with. Do I have any recourse in dealing with this man? Plz advise.

Hi po Attorney! I’m a Grade 12 student and I just want to know po regarding sa Anti-Bastos Law kung ito po ay effective rin sa mga kalalakihan? I’ve done some research about this law pero wala po akong makitang maayos na article regarding this na kasama ang mga kalalakihan sa law na ito. Gusto ko lang din po kasi magbigay ng maayos na sagot sa ibang mga kalalakihan na hindi rin alam ang sagot sa kanilang mga tanong at mabigyan ng impormasyon din ang ibang tao ukol rito (upang hindi rin maabuso ng ibang mga kababaihan). Sana po masagot po ninyo ang tanong ko. Salamat po!
