COMPLAINT
COMPLAINT
PLAINTIFF, by counsel, respectfully states that:
Plaintiff is a foreign corporation organized and existing under the laws of France with business address at 111 Ocean Drive, Tuna Compound, Quezon City; Defendant is a Filipino, of legal age, single and currently resident of 112 Ocean Drive, Tuna Compound, Quezon City, where he may be served with summons and other pertinent processes.
Plaintiff owns that property located at 112 Ocean Drive, Tuna Compound, Quezon City which it leased to defendant under the terms and conditions stated in the Contract of Lease dated 1 January 2005, which contract expires on 31 December 2006. A copy of the contract is attached as ANNEX A.
Upon expiration of the contract, plaintiff informed defendant of its intention not to renew the lease as it would use the property for its business expansion; plaintiff then asked defendant to vacate the premises. A copy of plaintiff’s letter to defendant is attached as ANNEX B.
Despite demand duly made and received, defendant has refused to vacate the premises and continues to occupy the property without plaintiff’s consent. Resort to the Barangay conciliation system proved useless as defendant refused to appear before the Lupong Tagapamayapa. A Certification to File Action is attached as ANNEX C.
Defendant’s act of dispossession has caused plaintiff to suffer material injury because plaintiff’s business expansion plans could not be implemented despite the arrival of machineries specifically leased for this purpose at the rental rate of US$500 per month. Defendant’s continued occupation of the premises has also forced plaintiff to sue and to incur legal expenses amounting to Fifty Thousand Pesos (P50,000.00).
WHEREFORE, plaintiff respectfully prays for judgment in its favor by ordering defendant to vacate the property and peacefully turn over possession to plaintiff and for defendant to pay plaintiff the amount of US$3,500 representing rentals on the machineries for seven (7) months and Fifty Thousand Pesos (P50,000.00) for Attorney’s fees.
Other just and equitable reliefs are also prayed for.
Quezon City; 13 April 2007.
