Document background
A False Eviction Notice document is essential in South African property law when tenants receive unauthorized or fraudulent eviction notices that violate their rights under the Constitution and the Prevention of Illegal Eviction Act (PIE Act). This document type becomes necessary when individuals or entities attempt to circumvent proper legal eviction procedures by issuing false notices to tenants. The document serves multiple purposes: it formally records the fraudulent attempt, provides a basis for legal action, and helps protect tenants from illegal eviction. It must include specific references to South African legislation, particularly the PIE Act, and contain sufficient detail about the false notice and supporting evidence. The document is typically used in conjunction with applications for urgent relief or as part of broader legal proceedings to protect tenants' rights and seek remedies against those issuing fraudulent notices.
