Rental Agreement

R 299

Lease residential property with clear rent, deposit, maintenance, and termination terms aligned to CPA and Rental Housing Tribunal expectations.

South African legal context (2026 checklist)

Unfair terms may be challenged. Deposits, inspection lists, and notice periods should follow current prescribed norms and your province's tribunal guidance.

  • Rental Housing Act 50 of 1999
  • Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008
  • Rental Housing Tribunal regulations

Use this as a starting point only. Verify current gazetted amendments, tribunal rules, and SARS / DOL circulars that may apply to your matter.
