What does Eviction Mean?
In South Africa, eviction refers to the legal process of removing a person from a property that they are unlawfully occupying. While this may sound simple, the process is quite complex, and the constitutional rights of both the landlord and the tenant must be considered. To ensure this, compliance with The PIE Act (Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act) and the Rental Housing Act is essential.
When to Pursue Eviction
Landlords have their fair share of difficult tenants, but eviction is only an option in certain cases. An eviction attorney in Brackenfell from our team can help you determine whether you have just cause to proceed. Some valid and legal reasons for evictions include:
- Lease expiry or termination
- Breach of lease terms
- Non-payment of rent
- Unlawful occupation (squatters)
Eviction Process at a Glance
- Identify Legal Grounds – Any breach of the lease that is not resolved can be a legal reason to evict, from subletting without authorisation to property damage.
- Give Written Notice – An eviction attorney from our team will draft and issue a notice of breach to your tenant – they have some time to comply, 20 business days or less.
- Cancel the Lease – If the issue is not resolved in the given timeframe, we will issue a formal lease termination, according to the law and the lease agreement in place.
- Court Application – Our team then files an eviction application in the High Court, which officially kicks off the court procedure.
