Eviction orders set to rise after lockdown
Some tenants have been genuinely unable to pay their rent, while others are thought to have taken advantage of the regulations to avoid paying what they should, leaving landlords in financial trouble.
The courts and property law attorneys are going to have their hands full once tenant evictions are allowed, with a number of cases already lined up and waiting for the go-ahead to action.
Currently, eviction notices can be served on tenants in breach of their lease agreements but evictions cannot be carried out until the country moves to lower lockdown levels. This decision was made to protect tenants who have been negatively impacted by the national lockdown but attorneys say the regulations are encouraging some tenants to default on their rents.
Statistics from TPN show that the number of tenants in good standing deteriorated by a âsignificantâ 8% to 73.42% in the second quarter. Of those tenants not up to date with their rents, TPN managing director Michelle Dickens says15.3% had made partial payments and 11.3% did not pay at all. âTenants in the âdid not payâ category bottomed out at 19%.â
