The legal process for evictions is very strict, which is why working with an eviction attorney in Vredenburg is so beneficial. One missed step can set you back or even lead to a dismissed eviction application. This is why many landlords and rental agents partner with RCS Law for eviction services that ensure the best possible results. This is a summary of the legal steps that must be followed:

1. Identify Legal Grounds: Any breach of the lease that remains unresolved after serving your tenant with a written notice can be a legal reason to evict.
2. Provide Written Notice – Before you can approach the court for an eviction order, you need to supply your tenant with a written notice outlining their breach of the lease – they usually have 20 business days or less to rectify the issue.
3. 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.
4. Court Application: Our RCS LAW team then files an eviction application with the High Court, officially starting the eviction process.
5. Serve Notice of Hearing: Your tenant and the municipality are notified at least 14 days before the eviction hearing takes place.
6. Court Hearing: We present your case to the judge of the High Court, and your tenant can also present their case. Based on this, the judge decides whether to grant the eviction order.
7. Sheriff Enforces Eviction: If an eviction order is granted, our legal team will liaise with the sheriff to ensure the lawful and timely removal of the illegal occupiers from your home.
