Our Services

Residential Evictions

Residential evictions involve a maze of legislation and procedures that can be overwhelming. Our experience in this specialised area ensures your matters are handled quickly, professionally, and in line with all legal requirements. We combine negotiation and formal process to help restore a property to a lettable condition as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.

Commercial Evictions

Commercial eviction matters often go beyond property law, particularly when tenants enter Business Rescue or Insolvency. These situations require careful strategy and specialised knowledge. Our attorneys have extensive experience managing these cases and can guide you through the process while protecting the landlord’s interests every step of the way.

Rental and Debt Collection

We use advanced tracing and collection software that allows us to manage many functions in-house, saving time and reducing cost. Our system generates detailed debtor statements and automated reminders, helping speed up recovery. Where necessary, we proceed with judgment applications and can even obtain garnishee orders when appropriate.

Drafting and Vetting of Lease Agreements

Lease agreements are governed by numerous laws that change frequently, and outdated terms can easily become unenforceable, or even illegal. The Consumer Protection Act and Rental Housing Act also impose strict requirements on Property Practitioners.

We offer reasonable rates for updating standard lease agreements and assist agencies with drafting and vetting leases tailored to specific portfolios.

Training on Evictions, Collections and Lease Agreements

We provide training to Property Practitioners on the latest developments in eviction procedures, rental collections, and lease compliance. Early, informed action often prevents small issues from becoming full legal disputes, and it also accelerates the process when legal intervention is needed.
