editor’s note:
Becoming A Landlord..
While owning a rental property can be a lucrative business endeavour, letting out property for the first time and becoming a landlord is not for everyone, says Grant Rea, RE/MAX Living Rental Specialist. “There is far more to the letting process than just signing a rental agreement and collecting the money. Those who are thinking of letting out a property need to know what they are getting into upfront and consider a few vital elements before they take the step to becoming a landlord,” says Rea. He notes that the top five aspects that every potential landlord should consider are:
•
What repairs or maintenance are required both now and in future?
•
How secure is the property?
•
Do I know enough about the legalities of letting to manage the risk of letting my property?
If you, as the landlord, decide to manage the rental property yourself, you will need to do your homework and ensure that you know the rental process well. You will need to manage your time effectively, as maintaining a rental property and ensuring that everything runs smoothly can take time and energy. There is also the matter of resolving any legal issues, adhering to legal requirements and following the correct procedures. These matters can be complicated, especially if letting out property is not your sole occupation. A rental agent can be a valuable asset to landlords, as they understand the rental process, lease terms and the reason for them. As an intercessor for the landlord, an agent will enforce the terms of the lease and ensure that tenants do not abuse their privilege. Boundaries are important and tenants need to understand the business setting of the relationship, along with their limitations and obligations. If a dispute does arise, a rental agent will have the expertise to be able to resolve the matter. It is important to act decisively and without delay should the tenant breach the rental agreement. Most rental agents will also have well-established accounting systems to keep track of rental payments and home inspection processes to ensure that the property remains in the same condition in which the tenant received it. Another important service that a rental agent provides is the vetting of potential tenants. Tenant selection is a vital element to the financial success of the rental. “Factors that
will need to be considered during the vetting process are the tenant’s level of affordability, in other words can they afford the rental each month and do they have a clear credit history? It is also important that the person is trustworthy and compliant and will look after the property well. This can be determined by contacting the references provided by the tenant. Once a tenant has been selected and it is time to enter into a contract, it is imperative that the lease agreement is structured correctly and that it is understood by all parties. The lease agreement should be highly detailed and contain all the necessary stipulations upfront to avoid any complications or misunderstandings regarding the responsibilities of each party. The agreement must contain all important elements to adequately cover both parties’ rights. No aspects should be left open to interpretation or assumption. The lease should deal with all details regarding the tenancy such as where the deposit will be held and how disputes between the two parties will be addressed. As a general rule, the landlord should request a deposit of at least two months rental and no less. The landlord must ensure that the deposit in held correctly as prescribed by the Rental Housing Act. With less than two months deposit there may not be enough security for the owner to cover non-payment of rent and any necessary repairs or damages left by the tenant. Adrian Goslett, Regional Director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, says that landlords will need to have money set aside for unforeseen circumstances such as issues that are not covered by the home insurance and legal costs should the tenant default. There will also be the cost of drawing up lease agreements and seeking legal advice. Another expense that the landlord would have to carry is the general upkeep and maintenance of the property. This typically equates to between 5% and 8% of the monthly rental amount. Although becoming a landlord can be hard work, it is also possible for it to be the stepping stone to creating wealth over the long term. The key element to success is to always view property investment with the future in mind. What better place to find that perfect investment property than in these Property Pages?

MEDIATION - THE COMING TIDE The South African Legal Profession has been slow to accept the legitimacy of mediation proceedings despite the enormous pragmatic and financial advantages.
In the past both lawyers and clients have preferred the certainty and even the “aggression” of litigation. However mediation is no longer playing 2nd fiddle to its more hard-line cousin.
You are strongly advised to consider:
Mediation is still voluntary and there is officially no sanction for refusing it and going straight to court BUT (aside from only considering its obvious advantages) one should strongly consider mediation before going straight to court!
The South Gauteng High Court held, in the case of Brownlee v Brownlee, that if one party proposes mediation and the other unreasonably refuses, the party in favour of mediation is likely to In jurisdictions such as the United States, United Kingdom and Canada succeed in calling for an adverse costs. considerably more cases are referred to mediation than will ever see a court room. In South Africa lawyers, judges, clients and even the Law In other words... Society of South Africa are seeing that the massive advantages of mediation cannot be ignored. If you insist on going to court and it is shown that the matter could have easily been settled in mediation then you alone may bare the What is mediation? extra costs that came with proceeding in court! In a nutshell mediation is dealing with a dispute or controversy by setting up an independent person between the contending parties in order to aid them to reach a just and equitable settlement to their disagreement.
The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius once stated: “How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.”
Why Mediation?
This is a key aspect to mediation especially because a working or personal relationship may need to be maintained once the proceedings end.
It is easy to try settling disputes with the more aggressive option, but even if you “win” you need to consider whether the final outcome More broadly mediation is about trying to create a solution where benefitted you or simply hurt the other party. Mediation provides a both parties get more-or-less what they want without going to court. means whereby as much as it is possible, both parties can benefit.
The obvious answer is that mediation is usually both considerably cheaper and less stressful than going to court. • While one can wait as long as 2 years before a trial even begins, mediation is likely to be over within 2 weeks. • In addition mediation lacks the adversarial nature of court. There are not supposed to be “winners” and “losers”. • Mediation creates flexible outcomes in the interests of both parties. • Mediation is now making its way into law by means of the new amended Chapter 2 of the Magistrates Court Rules. • The law society sees not only the advantages it has for the parties but also its potential to alleviate our backlogged court system;
Mediation is already a huge part of South African law and it is growing faster than ever. So if you find yourself in a dispute of any nature remember to keep calm and consider mediation.
