I stopped paying my house or condo installment — can I get a refund?
It depends on how long you have been paying. Under the Maceda Law (RA 6552, the Realty Installment Buyer Protection Act), if you have paid at least two years of installments on a residential house, lot, or condominium unit and then default, the seller cannot simply keep everything: on cancellation you are entitled to a cash surrender value of 50% of your total payments (rising after five years). If you have paid less than two years, you get a grace period of not less than 60 days to catch up, but there is no automatic cash refund. The developer must serve a notarized notice and pay any cash surrender value before a cancellation is valid. Maceda Law covers residential installment sales; it does not cover industrial lots, commercial buildings, or land sold under agrarian reform.
How much cash surrender value (refund) am I entitled to under the Maceda Law?
Under Section 3 of the Maceda Law (RA 6552), if you have paid at least two years of installments, the cash surrender value on cancellation is 50% of the total payments you made. After five years of installments, it increases by an additional 5% for every year beyond the fifth, but the total can never exceed 90% of your total payments. 'Total payments' refers to the installment payments made — the law's own phrasing is 'fifty per cent of the total payments made.' The seller cannot validly cancel the contract until this cash surrender value is actually paid to you.
How long is my grace period for a missed house or condo amortization?
Under the Maceda Law (RA 6552), if you have paid at least two years of installments, you get a grace period of one month for every year of installment payments you have made — for example, five years of payments earns a five-month grace period. This right can be exercised only once every five years. If you have paid less than two years, the seller must still give you a grace period of not less than 60 days from the date the installment fell due. Paying the arrears within the grace period reinstates your contract, and no interest is charged on the installments you catch up on.
Can the developer cancel my contract just like that when I miss payments?
No. Under the Maceda Law (RA 6552), a seller cannot validly cancel a residential installment contract by mere demand or by a clause in the fine print. Cancellation takes effect only after 30 days from your receipt of a notice of cancellation or a demand for rescission delivered by a notarial act, and — if you have paid at least two years — only upon full payment to you of the cash surrender value. The Supreme Court has repeatedly voided cancellations that skipped the notarized notice or the cash-surrender-value payment. Until both steps are properly done, your contract is still alive.
