Understanding Eviction Law in South Africa

South Africa has specific legislation governing evictions, including the Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act (PIE) and the Extension of Security of Tenure Act (ESTA). Common law principles also apply to commercial evictions.

Each type of eviction has unique requirements and procedures that must be followed meticulously to ensure a lawful and successful outcome.
