Deposit Management Software for Kempton Park

Rental deposit handling in South Africa is strictly regulated, and getting it wrong can land Kempton Park landlords in trouble with the Rental Housing Tribunal. Kempton Park’s proximity to OR Tambo International Airport drives rental demand from airline staff, business travellers, and logistics workers. Indlu automates deposit management from collection to refund, ensuring you comply with every requirement of the Rental Housing Act.

Deposit Rules Kempton Park Landlords Must Follow

The Rental Housing Act requires South African landlords to:

• Invest the deposit in an interest-bearing account within a set timeframe
• Pay the tenant the accrued interest on refund
• Refund the deposit (plus interest) within 14 days of lease termination if no claims are made
• Provide an itemised list of deductions with supporting evidence if withholding any portion
• Conduct a joint inspection at move-in and move-out to document property condition

Many Kempton Park landlords fall foul of these rules, especially the interest calculation requirement.
