RESIDENTIAL
Avoid language that may be interpreted as threatening or discriminatory . Be concise and specific in your notice . A qualified eviction specialist can ensure your eviction notice is legally sound .
Serve the eviction notice personally In South Africa , eviction notices must be served personally on the tenant or other adult residing on the property . When serving the notice :
• Choose an appropriate time to serve the notice ( when the occupant is likely to be available )
• Make sure the tenant acknowledges receipt of the notice ( by signing and dating a copy , or having a witness present at the service )
• Keep a copy of the notice and the proof of service for your records ( it will be used for the eviction application )
