Imibuzo Ejwayelekile

Ingabe i-Rental Housing Act isebenza kumakontileka ezentengiselwano? Cha. UMthetho usebenza kuphela ezindaweni zokuhlala. Amakontileka ezentengiselwano alawulwa umthetho wesivamile wamakontileka.

Ingabe umninindlu angakhuphula irenti noma nini? Cha. Irenti ingakhuphulwa kuphela njengoba kuchaziwe ekontilekeni, ngokuvamile kanye ngonyaka ngosuku lokugcina lekontileka. Inani lokukhuphula noma iphesenti kufanele kushiwo ekontilekeni. Ukukhuphula okweqile kungaphikiswa eTribunal.

Ingabe ikontileka yomlomo iyasebenza ngokomthetho? Yebo, kepha kunzima ukufakazela imigomo yesivumelwano somlomo. UMthetho unconywa kakhulu amakontileka abhaliwe, futhi noma iyiphi ingxabano ngesivumelwano somlomo izogcina isekelwe ebusweni bobufakazi.

Ingabe umqashi angagcina irenti uma umninindlu engalungisi okuthile? Hhayi ngokwakhe kuphela. Umqashi kufanele acele ukulungiswa ngokubhalwe phansi kuqala, bese ekhuphulela kwi-Rental Housing Tribunal uma umninindlu esehluleka ukuthatha isinyathelo. Ukugcina irenti ngaphandle kwemvume ye-Tribunal kungathathwa njengokwephula ikontileka.

Yisiphi isikhathi sesaziso esidingekayo ukuqeda ikontileka? Kumakontileka angaphezi (enyanga nenyanga), okuzenzakalelayo ngokomthetho wesivamile isaziso senyanga eyodwa yekhalenda, esinikezwa ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga. Amakontileka anesikhathi esimisiwe aphela ngosuku olwavunyelwana ngalo ngaphandle kokuvuselelwa. UMthetho Wokuvikela Abathengi (CPA) uvumela abaqashi ukuthi bakhansele amakontileka anesikhathi esimisiwe ngesaziso sezinsuku zebhizinisi ezingama-20, kuye ngesijeziso esifanele sokukhansela.

Ukuhlala ohlangothini olulungile lwe-Rental Housing Act kuya ngokusekelwe emakontilekeni abhaliwe, ukuphathwa okufanele kwediphozithi, namarekhodi aqhubekayo. Thobela kusukela osukwini lokuqala ngokukhiqizwa kwamakontileka, ukulandelelwa kwediphozithi, nezikhumbuzo zokuhlola ezakhelwe abaninindlu baseNingizimu Afrika.
