Add another room, backroom or flat under a property already in your register.

No deposits or top-up rent should be demanded from funded students under the standard NSFAS-approved private-accommodation lease. This fictional example has not verified funding, accreditation, signed terms or money received.

Financial hardship or repair notice
A notice is a communication record, not an automatically accepted contract, right to withhold rent, stay of eviction, or tribunal ruling.

Township, commune and shared facilities
Fair yard costs, visible to everyone.
Choose equal shares or occupant-weighted shares, then review the precise totals before discussing or recording an agreed allocation. Utility charges still depend on the lease and applicable rules.

Rights for tenants and landlords. Privacy by design.
Information links to original legislation. It is general guidance, not a legal opinion for a particular dispute.
Know the rules
Rental deposits and inspections
The Rental Housing Act addresses receipts, interest-bearing deposits and joint entry/exit inspections. Keep written records. Refund timing and deduction rights depend on facts and the applicable Act.
Official Rental Housing ActEviction requires lawful court processes
Landlords cannot simply evict occupants by changing locks. The PIE Act governs a lawful eviction process. Tenants still owe rent under their lease unless lawfully resolved otherwise.
Official PIE ActUnresolved repairs and rent offsets
Log the fault, notify the owner and obtain written agreement for any rent credit. A photo or an AI suggestion is not proof of liability, and withholding rent can create arrears or legal risk. Seek advice or tribunal assistance where needed.
Department of Human Settlements2014 amendment has not commenced
The government currently lists the Rental Housing Amendment Act 35 of 2014 as awaiting proclamation. Do not automatically apply its proposed new obligations as current law.
Official commencement statusVentilation and building conditions
Building Regulations Part O requires adequate lighting and ventilation. A missing extractor fan alone does not establish regulatory non-compliance: natural ventilation may be adequate. A professional should check site conditions and relevant SANS requirements.
