Rent and Condominiums
Apartment B might give up the place. They’re 5K behind May’s rent and they haven’t paid June’s. It’s already July and Mama’s predicting that they might not stay any longer soon. If they do leave, 1/3 of the house income will be cut and that will be a serious difference especially with the current trend of prices of commodities and other stuff. What’s funny is we haven’t increased the rent in like 10 years and they’re having troubles paying that amount.
But then, the rent in different places just keep going up. A lot of contact centers and offices are moving out or cutting down floor area because of the increasing rent. At the Philam Life alone, according to Vani, their rent will double. My company will also be moving out of our floor and will move to Glorietta (Or was it Greenbelt?) 5 once it’s finished. Loraine’s client gave up a half floor on the PBCom Tower because of the rent as well.
Now, if Apartment B gives up their space, it will be really hard to find a new tenant. The place is s run down and it will be unlivable for normal people since A and C are night clubs. The rent for our apartments are dirt cheap considering they’re on a main road and near an intersection…
I’ve been thinking about redoing the whole place–the apartments and the house itself–that is, IF ever I did have the money. The house is also very run down. The walls are termite-eaten and the roof is so rusted that when it rains, it’s also raining inside the house. Water seeps in the walls. Worst of all, what I hate the most, it floods inside the house, in my room.
I want to tear down the whole place and build a condominium. Maybe a 5 to 8 storey one will do. The floor area is large enough. And when it’s done, we could have a better chance at renting space out. Maybe one floor could be a dormitory. Two or three floors could be offices. I’d like the top floor or a penthouse for myself. We could probably do this through mortgage lenders … Borrow some money for a major reconstruction. A~ah… I do wish I had the money for that. I really hate this place.
Another problem though, even if I had the money to have this place torn down, where will the people live? Not like everyone will agree as well. It’s my grandfather’s house (he’s dead) and his wife is still alive. All their children are still alive. I doubt they’d agree to it. And if they did, they’d all be fighting over shares of the house income.
*sigh*
I do hate this family as well.
I need to work hard so I can move out to an elevated place where it doesn’t flood. Where I don’t have to hide food from my cousins or brother (because I hate them). Because I hate this place.
