Real Estate & Property Lawyer in Mandaluyong City
We handle Mandaluyong property matters: commercial and retail lease negotiation and disputes, condominium purchases, title verification with the Registry of Deeds for Mandaluyong, ejectment cases, and real property tax assessments and appeals.
Mandaluyong is dense and vertical, so the recurring disputes are between neighbours in the broadest sense — building setbacks, construction damage to adjoining structures, light and view obstruction, and drainage. Many of these are addressed faster through the city engineer or building official than through a court case, and a well-documented complaint at that level often produces a remedy in weeks rather than years. We advise on which route fits before filing anything.

Frequently asked questions
A neighbouring construction damaged our building. What can we do?
Document the damage immediately with photographs and, ideally, an engineer's report, then raise it with the building official and the contractor. A claim for damages is available, but the contemporaneous evidence is what determines its value.
How is a Mandaluyong real property tax assessment challenged?
By protest and appeal to the Local Board of Assessment Appeals within the prescribed period, on grounds such as incorrect classification, valuation, or the property's actual use.
Can a landlord increase rent mid-term?
Not unless the lease allows it. Where the lease contains an escalation clause, the increase must follow the formula stated. Residential units may also fall under rent control limits depending on the rent level.
