The Rental Housing Act: Amendments, Annotations and Commentary (Paperback)

The Rental Housing Act 50 of 1999 has been amended substantively by the Rental Housing Amendment Act 35 of 2014. The Amendment Act, which has yet to commence, creates mechanisms to ensure the proper functioning of the South African rental housing market, lays down general principles for governing conflict resolution in the rental housing market, facilitates sound relations between tenants and landlords and lays down general requirements relating to leases. The Rental Housing Act: Amendments, annotations and commentary provides an easy to- follow system to clearly identify changes to the Rental Housing Act by the forthcoming amendments and includes commentary to help the reader understand the amendments and their context and interplay with other provisions of the Act. All amendments are colour-coded, making them easy and quick to identify. This work is the go-to guide on the amended Rental Housing Act and indispensable to any participants in the South African rental housing market, such as landlords, tenants, estate agents, legal practitioners, members of the Rental Housing Tribunal and anyone who seeks to keep abreast of the latest changes to South African rental legislation.
