FIND YOUR WAY FORWARD LEGAL SERVICES FOR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND DISPUTES
Step 1.
Letter of Demand
This is the first step to notify the tenant that they are in breach for failing to pay rent as per the lease agreement. It gives them 20 business days to remedy this breach as required by law.
Step 2.
Letter of Cancellation
If the tenant fails to comply with the Letter of Demand, you can cancel the lease and demand immediate vacating. If they refuse, they are in unlawful occupation and you can apply to Court for eviction.
Step 3.
Eviction Application
This is a Request for Permission to Serve, a Notice of Motion, and a Founding Affidavit. We draft these documents and appear before a Magistrate to get permission to serve the eviction application.
Step 4.
Court Appearance
If unopposed, an Eviction Order is issued, giving the tenant time to vacate before the Sheriff ejects them. If opposed, we present arguments before a Magistrate to finalise the matter.
Our eviction legal advisers will be able to help you to tackle evictions safely and securely. In most places, eviction, particularly a property eviction, is often judged to be a very substantial topic. Currently there are countless different methods that can possibly be utilised so as to get a evading occupant to comply, the option of eviction is extremely definitive within South African Law. The process is distinctly detailed and ordinarily takes between six to twelve weeks from the time the request is initially served upon the renter until the time-frames when the tenant is told by the pertinent Judge or Magistrate to clear the building.
Tenants Not Paying Rent
If demands all fail and the tenant still won’t pay, get an eviction lawyer. On the very first feasible opportunity file a tenant-landlord grievance in a local court. There certainly is nothing at all to prevent a lessor from dispatching a command for the unpaid rent payment after the occupant has been evicted.
Getting Tenants Out
Although many of us can’t envision a scenario developing in which the renter not only decides not to settle the rent, yet furthermore decides not to move out.
Lease Agreements
Writing a secure lease needs to contain a delinquency paragraph with it describing the penalties of breaching one of the terms of the contract. It is then up to the landlord the amount of lenience you wish to exhibit thereafter.
Urgent Evictions
Section 5 of the Act deals with so called urgent eviction processes. Very importantly one must prove to a court of law that there certainly is and/or will likely be substantial injury to people (that could incorporate the unlawful occupiers themselves) or damage to residential or commercial property in the event that the request does not get awarded. The urgent eviction is actually so compelling, that it offsets the defiant lessee or the wrongful inhabitant to be ordered by the law court to vacate the residential property in less than 1 day, declining which the sheriff of the court is authorised to forcefully remove the unauthorised tenant off the estate.
Time & Cost of Evictions
Considering that an lessee may opt to part with a residential property at virtually any point throughout the eviction process, the costs can substantially fluctuate with circumstances. The rental payment and loss recovery procedure is usually set in motion hand and hand, and functions in combination to the application for the legal eviction plan.
Landlords Rights
Although a solid lease agreement reduces eviction process, the lack thereof does not necessarily mean that unlawful occupants can not be evicted. Find out more about property owners duties & rights here.
Required Documents
The first step should be usually to secure the signed lease contract agreement from the property owner and particulars of the contraventions of the resident. In case of the occupant fails to compensate rental, full specifications of the delinquencies needs to be provided by the lessor.
