Eviction Attorney in Kraaifontein

Are you struggling to manage a difficult tenant situation? Landlords run the unfortunate risk of a defaulting tenant, which may lead to frustration and loss of revenue. Tenant screenings can help avoid this; however, there is no way to predict these situations. If you need to evict a tenant, RCS Law can help. Let an eviction attorney in Kraaifontein guide you throughout the process.

Our RCS Law team has extensive expertise in property law and has worked closely with rental agents and homeowners to achieve the best possible outcomes in eviction cases. The eviction process is detailed and must be handled legally, in compliance with South Africa's Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act (PIE Act). This act is designed to protect tenants from unlawful evictions.

Why Work with RCS Law

As a landlord in South Africa, you are well within your legal rights to pursue eviction when your tenant breaches their rental contract. By enlisting the services of an eviction attorney in Kraaifontein, you are taking the safest and most effective approach possible. How RCS Law helps:

  • Full compliance with the law: We ensure that all notices, filing, and procedures meet the correct legal requirements.
  • Proper Documentation: An eviction attorney from our team will help gather and present the relevant documents. This includes leases, payment records, and any written correspondence, which helps to strengthen your court case.
  • Court Representation: An eviction attorney in Kraaifontein will represent your case in court, which improves your chances of securing an eviction order.
  • Less Risk: Navigating the eviction process can be stressful. You cannot force a tenant out and must follow the correct steps.
  • Efficiency: We understand South Africa’s Property Law landscape and will help you resolve disputes efficiently.

When to Pursue Eviction:

  1. If your tenant breaches their lease, you can pursue legal eviction, following the legal steps to evict a tenant. We always recommend first speaking with your tenant to see if the issues can be resolved without intervention. If this fails, an eviction attorney in Kraaifontein can assist you. Here are some circumstances that warrant eviction:

    • Non-payment of rent, even after issuing a written notice of breach.
    • The tenant does not leave after the lease term has ended or notice has been given.
    • Illegal occupation (someone is occupying your property without legal rights or a contract).
    • Breach of lease terms (e.g., subletting without permission or damaging your property).

An Overview of the Eviction Process::

  1. We navigate the breach clauses and notice requirements in the lease agreement.
  2. We issue a detailed written notice, with a period to rectify a breach or to vacate the premises.
  3. We do an application in court for an eviction order under the PIE Act.
  4. We will present your case in court.
  5. If successful, the court will issue an official eviction order.
  6. The sheriff enforces the eviction if your tenant does not vacate the property after the date the court ordered them to.
