PD 1472 Section 2

Section 2

SEC. 2. The National Housing Authority shall have the power to summarily eject, without the necessity of judicial order, any and all squatters from squatters' colonies or government resettlement projects, as well as, any illegal occupant in any homelot, apartment or dwelling unit owned or administered by it. In the exercise of such power, the National Housing Authority shall have the right and authority to request the help of the Barangay Chairman and any peace officer in the locality. Illegal occupant as used in this Decree shall mean to include those awardees or lessees whose right to occupy or lease the subject homelot, apartment or dwelling unit has already ceased by reason of his violation of the conditions of his award or lease agreement executed in his favor by the National Housing Authority or its predecessors-in-interest. In all these cases, however, proper notice of ejectment either by personal service or by posting the same in the lot or door of the apartment as the case may be given to the squatter or illegal occupant concerned as the case may be at least 10 days before his scheduled ejectment from the premises. The provision of Section 2 of Republic Act No. 6026 that no awardee shall be ejected unless he is transferred to another housing project or to his hometown with the assistance of the Department of Social Welfare is hereby repealed.
