About Us
Illegal Evictions recognizes that rental properties are not just investments—they are people’s homes and sources of income. Renters deserve the same security and quality of life as homeowners and business property owners.
Unfortunately, current rental laws sometimes fail to prevent unscrupulous landlords, caretakers, and estate agents from illegally evicting renters, jeopardizing their safety and security without following due legal process.
At Illegal Evictions, we believe it’s time to tip the balance in favor of renters to create a fairer rental landscape. Why? Because more people are renting now than ever before—and for longer periods.
South Africa’s modernized property laws provide the tools needed to protect renters’ rights effectively.
