Subject : PROPERTY LEASING

Recently some foreign Asian nationals who used to stay in condominium units around the Makati area have been moving to exclusive villages during this pandemic period.

We would like to urgently remind you that government agencies are on the watch for suspicious individuals/"family groups” who set up unauthorized internet gambling facilities, call centers engaged in fraud, drug manufacturing and/or trading and other illegal and nefarious activities in houses or condominium units which they are renting. Among the indicators that make these individuals/family groups” stand-out is the fact that they pay premium rental, pay a full year rent in advance and other indicators that prudent property owners can easily find suspicious.

At San Lorenzo, we are monitoring the unusual activities/movements in some houses that are rented by these individuals “family groups”. Usually these individuals/family groups” are home all day and night. In the most part, these individuals/family groups” are young men who are in their 20’s and who do not speak, nor write, English. Usually a group of 8 to 10 individuals will pretend to be brothers, cousins, uncle/nephews etc. The also usually have a “leader” type who speaks little English, but does not live with them at the location. He/she is present at the negotiation of the lease, but later on he/she cannot be found.
