The contract also provides that the defendant should also take care of the property and its premises with the utmost diligence. 7.

Worse, he installed a sari -sari store in the original building structure of the house unit. 8. The plaintiff confronted the defendant about it but the defendant claimed that it was a DEED OF SALE which they signed and not a CONTRACT OF LEASE and therefore, the defendant is the new owner of the house unit. 9.

10. The defendant willfully and maliciously violated the agreement which they mutually agreed upon, and which the defendant signed.
