How To Find Condo Owner In Manila?

Why do I have to go through the owner instead of leasing office to rent a condo?

• This would be my very first place and very first condo, obviously i'm an amateur on knowing how to rent a condo since it's a bit different than renting an apartment. Well I'm not ready to move out yet but am Instead apartment hunting to see where I want to move to, so far I found this condo and two other areas but am more interested in the condo due to it having a stacked W/D and that H.O.A pays the water bill. so all I would be paying for is the rent and electricity (as well as any other services I get). When I called the leasing office about the floor plan I liked (due to it being the most affordable and other reasons). she told me that I would have to talk to the owner of that particular condo floor plan, which confused me a bit because why would I have to speak to the owner who's renting the condo, if that owner was also a renter who moved out? am I missing something with this, is it even legal for that too happen? How does a person rent out a condo exactly, what do I need to be aware of and or ask? Like I said this will be my first own place and it will just be me living there, also does anyone know what Biangular LLc is? it was the guys email I spoke to about the condo and he sent me some links through email to see pictures of the inside of the condo, he has this asian like name too. thanks so much guys for you're help. ______________________________________… He also said that he's willing to accept me paying 2/3 months of rent if I still haven't found a job yet and am looking to move out (emergency move-ins, i guess). He seemed very calm and not so cautious about me wanting to move there, I mean I barely can find any reviews about the place and the outside of the condos looks very old, it was made in the 70's and the outside is grayish looking. Hopefully it's not a bad place, if so then I'm not moving there, I value safety and security when moving to an area, also since it's only going to be me and no one else there (unless god's plan on living on my own is for someone to live with me). heres links to pictures of the place, what do you guys think and like I said what do I need to ask, look out for and be aware of when renting a condo? would I be able to change the wall coloring or any other things in the condo? ______________________________________… http://www.gosection8.com/Section-8-housing-in-Dallas-TX/0-bedroom-1-bathroom-rental-Condo/4042762 ______________________________________… I also was told by the leasing office the there are 60 owners of the condos, is that ok to have that many and what is an H.O.A? do I need it?

• Answer:

  The questions are funny, but you do need to know the answers. Condos are usually individually owned, just like houses are, so the unit you want to rent is privately owned and not managed by the office you spoke with. Some businesses are LLCs, which simply stands for limited liability company - it may or may not hold title to the property, probably is just a business name the owner has. HOA stands for homeowners association - you don't have a choice, anyone residing in a condo must adhere to the rules of the HOA. In almost all cases, the monthly dues are paid by the owner and are included in your rent price, but you might want to check to make sure. You will NOT be able to change anything inside the condo without the express WRITTEN permission of your landlord.
