Industry Voice Frustration Over Illegal Agents And The System Not only unregistered agents but also a perceived lack of monitoring by the EAAB on compliance with educational and training requirements have many realtors fed up and demanding the system improves. Letters poured in following the ‘Open Letter’ by realtor Andile Ben-Mazwai on the issue of illegal agents and his proposal that the property industry take legal steps to force the Estate Agency Affairs Board (EAAB) and police to take more decisive action against illegal property traders.
resulting from brand damage/poor reputation for us?” asked Bedhasie. On the other side of the coin Graham Herbert, mortage professional with 23 years’ experience and not an estate agent, said in his opinion there’s no point to the whole debate as the property sales process can’t be owned only by the property industry. Private sellers, same as agents, have access to technology and information on market trends and valuations as well as the same advertising portals. “My view, an estate agent is a facilitator of a sale, they are not the owners of the process. To regulate the industry, is like trying to claim ownership of the sales process.”
Jan le Roux, CEO of Rebosa, said Ben-Mazwi makes valid points. “It has long been an irritation of the industry that not enough is done in acting against agents/individuals Jess Fortune from Bellville wrote he and a colleague trading illegally,” said Le Roux. With regards to both lost clients recently to the same unregistered agent Ben-Mazwi’s suggestion of possible legal steps, Le Roux whose principal is apparently also without a valid said Mandamus Action is certainly a possibility, but that Fidelity Fund Certificate (FFC). He says a principal from the response of the EAAB will possibly be that they have another agency allegedly even wrote a letter to the limited resources and support from the police. unregistered agency threatening to report them but to no avail. “It is one thing if the Board is doing absolutely nothing, but another if substantial efforts are made, but they are “At the moment we feel helpless as we know that the unable to cope with the scale of the problem. It is EAAB does not have the resources to do anything,” he therefore not a given that applying for an order will says. Berry Everitt, CEO of Chas Everitt International necessarily meet with success,” said Le Roux. Property Group said most agencies feel the same way as Ben-Mazwi. “It seems that the only ones who are Le Roux further explained that the new Property inspected by the EAAB are those agencies that are Practitioners Bill, once in effect, will ensure that operating legally, and although we complain about conveyances would be breaking the law in paying illegal operators, we get no result. What the industry commission to unregistered agents. This should address needs is self-regulation where we report directly to the illegal trading as far as sales are concerned even though it relevant Minister, said Everitt. will address issues as far as rent letting is concerned. Nikita Sigaba, acting CEO of EAAB, said in a statement to Ted Frazer, Seeff National Marketing Manager, Property Professional that the Board intends to remove emphasized the importance for sellers, buyers and illegal agents from the public sphere as this undermines anyone in property to enquire and check credentials of not only the rule of law but also the credibility and future any property agent they are dealing with. of the profession. He said 120 illegal agents were prosecuted in the 2017-’18 financial year of which more Desiree Bedhasie from Richard’s Bay wrote the EAAB has than half (65) were prosecuted for illegal trading. a lot of educational requirements and fees that registered agents are required to pay yet “there are “It is very difficult to quantify the actual number of illegal agents/principals in the industry for almost 20 years practitioners currently since they are not registered who still do not have their NQF and PDE 4&5 anywhere.

40 Years
PIETERMARITZBURG TEAM
ADMIN TEAM
in Real Estate!
MOOI RIVER TEAM
HOWICK TEAM
From Humble Beginnings... Harcourts Patrick & Co, (formerly Ed Patrick Estates), was established 40 years ago in 1978 by Ed and his wife, Beryl Patrick in Perks Arcade, Pietermaritzburg. Their office was at the back of Beryl’s cushion shop! Their first sale was 9 Nile Road, Scottsville Extension for R16,334 and the commission was R850! Two years later his son, David joined the firm and after 7 years learning the trade, became a partner in the business in 1987. David’s first sale in November 1980 was a big house in Wembley for R64000! After outgrowing their premises they had a few moves in town before acquiring their own premises at 103 Roberts Road in Clarendon, but again, after about ten years, outgrew those offices and moved to Parklane Centre allowing them to increase their sales team further to 12 agents. During the 12 years at Parklane, Ed and David opened a branch in Howick where Tracy Williams, Tiffiny Hancock and Debbie Jones look after the sales and letting of the Amber Developments. Whilst they were at Parklane, they were also fortunate to have Albie Timmerman and his highly experienced team join them. Three years ago they purchased 36 Howick Road and rezoned it for office use. This has enabled them to grow their team even more and Harcourts Patrick & Co have now employed over 20 agents. With their team of experienced agents, Harcourts Patrick & Co. lists and sells residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural property in Pietermaritzburg and surrounds.
ED PATRICK OUTSIDE 9 NILE RD
They also have staff who are qualified Property Valuers and provide a full valuation service. Last year they grew their office compliment even further by acquiring Harcourts Midlands in Mooi River and are now able to service the entire Midlands areas. “Clive & Michelle Lang are well established names in the Mooi River property market and we are honoured to have them in our team” says David Patrick. “Our dynamic and enthusiastic team prides itself on continually setting new benchmarks in service and performance. We believe that great service stems from understanding our clients’ needs, developing a plan to achieve their goals and delivering results with a positive, proactive attitude. Our philosophy is not just about selling your home or finding the perfect home for you to purchase. It is about providing the best possible professional service to you, ensuring your repeat and ongoing referral business, as we have enjoyed over the years.”

Concerned about land expropriation? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no cause for panic.
Land expropriation without compensation (LEWC) has been a hot topic in recent months, with the effects of the uncertainty definitely reflecting in property decisions by both buyers and sellers. Much of the concern can be traced to a lack of understanding around what exactly such a policy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and change to the Constitution â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would entail. This uncertainty had buyers and sellers nervous about the future of their properties (and perhaps rightly so), but as issues around this proposal become clear, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also safe to say that it is business as usual for the property market. The international market optimism around â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ramaphoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in South Africa would not be as
14
high if this policy was, in fact, likely to affect ordinary homeowners. President Ramaphosa has himself said that he would not allow the LEWC process to affect South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial institutions that have billions invested in both residential and agricultural property. Not all doom, gloom and expropriation While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now clear that there is no cause for panic, there has certainly been a discernible shift in confidence in residential property markets. Silvana dos reis Marques, Manager at Leapfrog Property Group, Pretoria East, notes that home sales targets were noticeably down in March and April, and ascribes this to a reluctance by clients
to put pen to paper at the moment due to concerns around land expropriation. But it seems this panic is set to be short-lived. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a major jump in positive consumer sentiment recently, notes John Loos, FNB Household and Property Sector Strategist. While FNB statistics indicate that emigration-related selling was still high in the first quarter of 2018 it is likely that the current high rate of emigration-related selling is due to a lag before the impact of improved sentiment becomes evident. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get caught up in fake news Misleading reports and fake news on social media only serve to perpetuate the panic and appears to contribute to the decline in property sales, Marques notes as she urges people to confirm and verify information before sharing it on a social media platform. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly a lot of uninformed hysteria being perpetuated, specifically on social media,â&#x20AC;? concurs Bruce Swain, CEO of Leapfrog Property Group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At no point has government indicated that it would be
Source â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Leapfrog pushing through a policy in which residential homes would be seized. Expropriation of property (in general) without compensation also contravenes Section 25 of the Constitution, which is no small barrier. Yes, there is a chance that land could be expropriated, but even if this comes to pass there are many legal hoops to jump through. As far as residential property is concerned our message is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business as usual.â&#x20AC;? The recent changes in our politics can generally be seen to be positive, and this will reflect in the property figures as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really urge both buyers and sellers to educate themselves on the issue of land expropriation before making fear-based decisions about their futures,â&#x20AC;? believes Swain.
KICK ‘EM TO THE CURB - LITERALLY. The Landlord And Tenant Saga Dispelled. Being a landlord is a serious responsibility. Your property may be an income-earning asset to you, but to your tenants it is their home. So what do you do when your tenant fails to pay the rent and winds up in breach of the lease agreement? Tenants who refuse to pay their rentals to their Landlords are certainly a major issue for Landlords. South African law, it would appear on first glance, offers a vast array of protection for tenants but there is hope for the jaded Landlord who follows the correct legal processes. A recent research survey indicates that a little over 6% of tenants in South Africa were not paying rent as at the end of 2017. The survey also indicates that tenants who fail to pay their rentals vary depending on the rental category. Essentially, those who fall within the category of tenants who pay rental below R 3000 or above R 25 000 monthly have the highest percentage of default. At the very least, the Landlord should know that it is illegal to kick out his uncooperative tenant and change the locks to the access gate, even if the tenant has (in your opinion) become a squatter (i.e. an illegal occupier). The Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act (PIE Act) provides measures for the eviction of unlawful occupants and clearly frowns upon unlawful evictions. For an eviction to be lawful, certain procedures must be followed. The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) states that before you can cancel a lease, the tenant must be given 20 business days notice to rectify a material breach. Perhaps a good point to remember for the landlord is that where your lease makes provision for a month-to-month lease after the initial lease period ends then the 20 day notice period does
not apply as the CPA no longer applies. Also, where a written lease expires and is not formally renewed then the common law applies and you have to give your tenant one month's notice to vacate the property. So, you’ve been a law abiding landlord and followed the above procedures – now what? Well, assuming that your lease is in the initial fixed term you are entitled to send the tenant a letter cancelling the lease on the 21st day. Your letter must very politely notify the tenant that he is now occupying the property illegally and that he has, say, 48 hours to vacate. By that time, he would be well aware that you are not happy with him being there any longer. There is some debate as to when you can expect the tenant to leave the property – perhaps immediately if you’re lucky. You should definitely be cautious about granting the tenant further time on the property as you are you are tacitly agreeing that their continued occupation is valid. Perhaps a better route would be as stated above with the letter – that way you would be informing them that they have 48 hours to vacate failing which an application for eviction will be made. In terms of the Application to Court, the reasons for the application and the personal circumstances of the tenants must be set out. Upon hearing the matter, and if the Magistrate is satisfied that it is just and equitable to evict the tenant then it will give directions on how the tenant is to be served, which service is attended to by the Sheriff at least 15 days before the hearing. For obvious reasons, the tenant may oppose the application and explain why they should not be evicted. Here, both parties are given an opportunity to address the Magistrate or a Judge, either on their own or through their legal representatives. If the tenant chooses not to do anything, then an eviction order will be granted. Another tip for the landlord is where a tenant fails to move out despite the eviction order, the Sheriff of the Court can be authorised to evict the tenant immediately.
adequately set out the terms and conditions of occupation and how breaches will be dealt with in detail (after all, you want to make sure you’re in the clear). It should also set out the protection afforded to each party should either one drop the ball. If a tenant is a day or two late with the rent one month and they are otherwise a good tenant, try not to flip out but rather give your tenant a call and let them know you haven't received the rent. This usually sorts the problem. • A piece of the PIE Historically, “poor” tenants had the hardest times with keeping up with their rental obligations. The PIE Act now provides that "no one may be deprived of property except in terms of law of general application, and no law may permit arbitrary deprivation of property; and no one may be evicted from their home, or have their home demolished without an order of court made after considering all the relevant circumstances". The Act specifically refers to people groups that protection is essentially mandatory i.e. the elderly, children, disabled persons and households headed by women. • “I’m stuck, I need help” Apart from consulting an Attorney’s who have experience in these matters, like the folks here at Randles Attorneys, the Rental Housing Tribunal can advise you of your rights and responsibilities as a landlord and can help in the event of a dispute with a tenant.
