About the Webinar

This webinar covers theory, as well as the practical aspects of residential rentals. In relation to the lease agreement, the purpose of the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2002 (CPA) is to protect the consumer (or the tenant) against any unfair marketing and business practices, which may be used by the supplier (or the landlord). Section 14 of the CPA bears the most relevance to lease agreements. Solutions in this regard will be discussed taking into consideration rental collection and alternative dispute resolution. The seminar will focus on all the legal aspects of rental property in general, with emphasis on evictions in terms of the Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act 19 of 1998 (PIE).
