Heirs of Gamaliel Albano v. Sps. Mena C. Ravanes

Summary

This case involves an ejectment dispute where property owners sought to repossess leased premises for their daughter's use under BP 877. The Supreme Court affirmed lower courts' ruling allowing ejectment, finding that month-to-month lease arrangements constitute definite periods expiring monthly, lessors' other properties were not 'available' as they were occupied by paying tenants, and the 3-month notice requirement was satisfied through verbal demands and barangay proceedings. The Court also ruled that petitioners' appeal was filed out of time, making the Court of Appeals decision final and executory. A subsequent lease contract between one spouse and the tenants was deemed invalid as a compromise since it lacked the consent of the property owner and was executed after adverse judgment but before finality.
