Settling in San Lorenzo Village, Makati

If you are a new resident of Barangay San Lorenzo in Makati, Philippines, congratulations! You are now a resident of one of the premier villages in Makati, Philippines!

To help you get settled, here are a few practical tips I share with my clients in getting all the paperwork done.

Items to request from the Landlord:

1) Authorization letter addressed to the Telephone or Cable company allowing tenant to apply/ upgrade

2) Latest copy of monthly bills- water, electricity, phone bill

3) Copies of ID

Go to the Barangay and Village Association and get the following forms

1) Move-in Form

2) Affidavit of Undertaking

3) Car sticker form

4) Resident ID forms (2)

Some of these forms need the signature and IDs of the Landlord. Be ready to submit copies of the Contract of Lease. You can cross out the monthly rent payment to protect your privacy.

Usually the Landlord should prepare these.

Applying for a Car Sticker

The SLVA car sticker will allow access to all San Lorenzo Village gates (around 5 of them). The SLVA sticker is very good since it gives you access to EDSA, Arnaiz Rd, SLEX, and Amorsolo.

Timing: Applications for the car stickers for the year are usually released annually every May. 2018 stickers will be released May 2018. These will be valid from May 2018 to June 2019.

1) Fill out the Car Sticker form

2) Submit requirements: OR/CR of the vehicle. If the vehicle is not named to the tenant, an authorization letter signed by the vehicle owner allowing the tenant to use the car.

3) Pay for the sticker fee. Stickers cost less than P1000 for the first 8 vehicles. For more than that, it can go up to P5,000 each!

SLVA Sticker fees:

1st-4th vehicles P550/sticker

5th – 8th vehicle P1,000/sticker

after – P5,500/sticker
