How your annual rental Increase is calculated
In these tight financial times, nobody wants their rent increased, but landlords and agents have to adjust their rentals in relation to market factors. Having some insight into the contributing factors to a rental calculation will help you to understand what influenced your rental increase this year. As a rule of thumb, rents are usually increased by 8% to 10% annually, but Pieter Janse van Rensburg, the franchisee for Just Property in George, explains that a number of different factors are taken into account when calculating a rental, and shifts in all of these will be passed on to the tenant.
“It’s also worth bearing in mind that many of the costs of property ownership – including interest rates, insurance and municipal rates – do not remain static, so landlords have to recalculate annually to ensure that their operating costs remain viable,” says Janse van Rensburg. These are some of the factors that he says could influence an increase: The market value of the property Rental prices are usually calculated at between 0.8% and 1.1% of the value of the property monthly. Therefore, each year, the increased market value will have an influence on the rent that is charged. “Tenants should be aware of fluctuations in local property prices so that increases don’t catch them off guard,” says Janse van Rensburg.
be taken into account. Landlords and agents will have to consider the affordability of their tenants in high-inflation years, while also securing their own profitability under the same conditions.

Developments in the area Changes in the surrounding neighbourhood may also influence rental increases. A new shopping centre or school may make the area more desirable for families or workers. “Obviously, any improvements in the suburb in which the tenant is renting will also benefit the tenant,” says Janse van Rensburg. “So increases for these reasons also need to be considered.”

The market While there are many external factors at play that affect how rental increases are determined, Janse van Rensburg says that landlords and agents are also influenced by what the market dictates. They can only increase their rentals to an amount that tenants are willing to pay so they will have to take care to make any adjustments fairly and realistically.

Is there any room for negotiation?
Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business While tenants should bear in mind that all lease agreements are business transactions and rent increase are calculated for this purpose, Janse van Rensburg says that your best hope for the lowest possible increase is to be an exemplary tenant.

“Always pay your rent on time and take good care of the property that you have been entrusted with,” he says. “For many landlords, a bird in the hand is a valuable asset, so they would like to keep you on if the relationship has been positive.”

Historical trends Generally speaking, with all other factors remaining more or less the same, the annual rent increase is likely to follow the same pattern as previous increases. “If this is your first year of letting, find out what the increases have been in the past so that you can prepare for what they will be in future,” says Janse van Rensburg.

“Rental increases have come under some pressure recently. In previous years, increases of 8-10 % were standard but we are now seeing tenants wanting to negotiate. In their favour, there is a shortage of quality tenants and occupancy levels have increased and so we are advising our Landlords to consider increases more in line with CPI."

THE COMMUNAL SCHEMES OMBUD SERVICE ACT - A COMMENTARY In 2011, Parliment passed two pieces of legislation that had a direct impact on the South African Property Ownership regime, namely the Sectional Title Schemes Management Act (STSMA) and the Communal Schemes Ombud Services Act (THE CSOS). Although these acts were approved in 2011, they were only promulgated, and brought into law, on 7th October 2016.
These could include, for example, the Memorandum of incorporation or the Constitution of a Property Owners Association, and most decidedly, and importantly for Sectional Title Owners, all Management and Conduct Rules, and any variation thereof. No variation or amendment to any scheme governance documentation is of any force or effect, even if unanimously approved by members, unless it has been submitted to and accepted by the Ombud.
c) To provide a dispute resolution mechanism in order to resolve disputes between the scheme governing body, and any of its members. It is this last function which is likely to be that most utilised by the public. The CSOS is, to a degree, limited to It is clear from its very name, that the STSMA applied to Sectional Title Schemes, and related mainly to the Management particular classes of disputes which it may adjudicate on. and Governance of such schemes. What was not fully appreciated by many lay persons, is that the STSMA applied to all classes of Sectional Title Schemes, be they for residential, commercial, industrial or agricultural usage. There is a misconception that the CSOS applies to Sectional and other types of communal housing schemes only. This would, for example, then only include residential shareblock, timeshare, and the homeowner association type of residential scheme, in addition to Sectional Residential Schemes. In truth, the CSOS applies to every land ownership scheme, be it residential, commercial, industrial or agricultural, in which ownership of the shared (common) property is obligatory for and limited to the owners of the properties benefitting thereby, or an association or other legal persona of which only such owners are obliged to be and may be members.
A disaffected member may challenge any rule which he considers to be unfair, unreasonable, or discriminatory. 6. Establishing New Rules A disaffectd member may seek an order from the Ombud compelling the governing body to establish a new rule which is fair, more reasonable and more equitable to all members, even though the members themselves may not have voted in favour thereof. 7. Strike Down a Resolution A member might complain that a resolution passed at a meeting of members was improperly obtained, whether by lack of a quorum, invalid notice, and so on.
A member who clearly requires that he be allocated the Exclusive Use and enjoyment of a portion of the common property, and is denied such Exclusive Use by his co- owners, may call on the Ombud to grant him such Exclusive Use. 9. Witholding Information
1. Financial Matters A member might, for example, believe that inadequate provision has been made in the monthly levy for the cost of any item of expenditure required to be covered. Conversely, the Scheme Management might refer a delinquent member in arrears of his levies to the Ombud, and request that the Ombud order him to pay.
Why was CSOS passed into our law in the first place, you might ask? In simple terms, the purpose was threefold:-
This order of dispute is very wide, and embraces, for example, an order to have a non-Sectional Title entity submit its financial records to audit, or to secure an order against a defaulting absentee owner so as to ensure that his tenant pays his rental directly to the association.
So, for example, a shareblock company memorandum of incorporation, plan of allocation of exclusive use and enjoyment of units within its scheme, relevant exclusive use and enjoyment agreements, conduct rules, and so on, would be deposited with the Ombud.
5. Setting aside of Existing Rule
8. Exclusive Use
Accordingly, and much to their surprise, I am sure, certain agricultural or rural allotments in Kwazulu-Natal, all of which are independently owned, but which share a common property, such as a Private Road for example, which is managed by an association of the owners benefitting thereby , are in fact subject to the provisions of CSOS. The purpose for which COSAS was promulgated will be commented on later on herein.
a) To provide a central depository for the plans and other governance documentation, rules and the like relating to all schemes affected by CSOS, and to allow public access thereto.
behaviour by a member which constitutes a nuisance to others.
2. Financial Mismanagement
3. Levy Calculation A disaffected member may challenge the computation of levies, by the governing body. 4. Behavioural or Conduct Issues
b) To regulate, monitor and control the quality, effectiveness The prime source of likely dispute here is the abuse of utilisation and fairness of all affected scheme governance documentation. of common property, the keeping of certain pets, and general
A member requiring information such as copies of documentation / minutes, who is being denied access thereto, may require the Ombud to compel the Governing Body to furnish what it is he requires. The CSOS dispute resolution mechanism will produce a far cheaper, and, hopefully more efficient service than the current arbitration and court process formerly used. It is anticipated that vastly increased numbers of disaffected owners will wish to take advantage of this dispute resolution function of the CSOS. One hopes that there will be sufficient numbers of adequately trained personnel to properly provide this service. A further unusual feature of the Ombud’s dispute resolution process, is that neither party to a dispute is entitled to legal representation as a right to any hearing to be adjudicated on by the Ombud. Such representation is only permissible if allowed by the Ombud.
