Need a housing expert's view on a rent increase in Metro Manila
A brief consultation with a housing advisor would help Rey understand their rights.

My landlord in Caloocan has given me a withheld security deposit. I've read what I can online, but the rules are confusing and different sources contradict each other.
I'm hoping that someone with experience in housing or tenant rights in Metro Manila could spare 20-30 minutes to explain the process, the deadlines and the documents I should collect.
I have my lease, all communications and photos organized. I'm happy to share them privately. I can't pay for a lawyer, so any guidance on free services in Metro Manila would also be appreciated.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
