Document background
The Landlord Notice To End Tenancy Letter is a critical document in South African property law that formally initiates the process of terminating a lease agreement. It must be used when a landlord wishes to end a tenancy, whether at the end of a fixed term, due to breach of contract, or for other legally permissible reasons. The document must comply with the notice periods specified in the Rental Housing Act and consider the protections provided by the PIE Act. It should clearly state the termination date, property details, and reason for termination (if applicable). This notice serves as the first formal step in the legal process of ending a tenancy and, if necessary, pursuing an eviction through the courts. The document's format and content must align with South African legislative requirements to be legally enforceable.
