May bahay kami na nasa compaund ng biyenan ko. Balak mag patayo ng bahay ng kapatid ng misis ko sa katabi namin. Ang balak nila na walang paalam tatakipan ang bintana ng bahay namin para maidikit ang bahay niya. Pag ginawa po yun, anong kaso ang pwede namin isampa sa kanila? At pwede ba kami mag lagay ng bakud na pader para hinde nila maidikit ang bahay nila sa bahay namin? Ano ang kasong pwedeng isampa namin sa kanila pag ginawa nila yun at pag nag bakod kami pwede po ba yun?


Lubos na gumagalang


Translation: We have a house inside a compound owned by my mother in law. My brother-in-law's wife is planning to build a house beside ours. Their plan is to cover our window so that their house will stand beside ours. Can we file a case/lawsuit against them to prevent them from doing this? Can we put up a wall so that theu would not be able to erect the house right next to ours?

Well, under the Property laws of the Philippines, there is always an easement of light. Hindi puedeng takpan ng isang homeowner ang bintana ng iba pang homeowner. Dahil sa nauna kayo dito, dapat, ang bintana nila o pader nila ay hindi takpan ang inyong bintana. Dapat, nga kung maglalagay din sila ng bintana, lihis doon sa bintana ninyo para hindi sila makaka-silip sa loob ng bahay ninyo.
