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.

Tenants Not Paying Rent
In a large number of places, it is prohibited to remove a tenant until all court proceedings are concluded, and this could take few weeks. There is nothing at all to prevent a lessor from issuing a call for the payable rental after the renter has been evicted.

Delays arising from postponed action or incorrect legal processeses commonly leads to more legal costs, loss of rental revenue and increased risk of damages to the residential or commercial property.
Lease Agreements
Your lease agreement must have a infringement section in it detailing the penalties of breaching any one of the stipulations of the contract. It is up to the proprietor what amount of lenience you wish to exhibit.
Urgent Evictions

Most notably an individual needs to show a judge that there certainly is and/or will likely be substantial personal injury to persons (this could involve the wrongful occupiers themselves) or else damage to residential or commercial property should the request does not get awarded. An emergency eviction is actually so effective, that it allows for the recalcitrant lessee or the wrongful inhabitant to be ordered by the court to leave the property inside of 1 day, neglecting which the sheriff of the court is mandated to forcefully evict the illegal tenant from the estate.
Time & Cost of Evictions
