Document background
The Arbitration Rental Agreement is designed for use in the South African property market where parties wish to establish a clear rental relationship while ensuring disputes are resolved through arbitration rather than litigation. This document becomes particularly relevant in high-value rentals or complex commercial arrangements where quick and private dispute resolution is preferred. It combines elements of standard rental agreements under the Rental Housing Act with arbitration provisions governed by the Arbitration Act 42 of 1965. The agreement includes comprehensive terms covering property use, maintenance, payment terms, and specific arbitration procedures, making it suitable for both residential and commercial properties where parties seek to avoid the public and often lengthy court process.
