@ibutho.lomoya: Bestie, some leases are now demanding 60 days notice to cancel, sometimes even two or three months. That is almost certainly an unfair term under Section 48 of the Consumer Protection Act, which prohibits unreasonable or one sided contract clauses. The standard under the CPA is 20 business days written notice, and any penalty must be reasonable. Demanding 60 days notice imposes an excessive burden on you and is unlikely to hold up before a Tribunal. If your landlord tries to enforce a 60 day notice, especially after you've already moved out, challenge it. The NCC has flagged these clauses in past disputes, and the Tribunal has repeatedly cut them down. Know your rights, bestie. I'm not a lawyer, I just read a lot of law. #kekeville #edutainment #YouKnowWhatsIllegal #CPA #ConsumerRights

Hawuuuuuu 😭😭😭 my landlord on his contract states that you will be eligible to get your deposit back after staying for 8 months. After 8, you can serve a month notice to get your deposit back.

I wish it was easy as reporting to police and then getting resolved with a week, but reality is that you have to go through court fees while you also need to have deposit for your new landlord

My brother has a tenant who hasn't paid a single cent rent for almost a year. Worse is he doesn't have a stable income currently and is behind on the house now too. What can he do?

how about student accommodation and rules about lease cancelation, they expect you to pay up to even 8 months ahead if you cancel

Hi Keith. My lease ends in September however I am tired of this place. We are dealing with aggressive mould. The stove has died twice. Cupboards keep getting loose on the screws. To be honest if it’s not this it’s that. How can I cancel this lease without paying heavy penalties

Don't forget the CPA states that 20 business days and the Landlord has a discretion to charge a reasonable penalty. It's not as easy as everyone thinks it is.

We gave our rental agents 60+ business days notice and we have been accommodating viewings the whole time, as well as the fact that we will vacate and do the handover a month and a half before we gave notice for while still paying in that time. That means that they wil have more than a month still being paid for where they can do any general maintenance and upkeep and do viewings as they please. There has also been a few viewings that ended in applications but the applications didn't complete. The landlord required 3 months and we countered with one month but have not yet received a response and the rental company also stated they ask a minimum of 2 months to a maximum of 4 months which in my opinion of the CPA cannot stand as it has to be based off actual losses and not a blanket sum. We do not have time to go sit in court if we do end up having to take them to Tribunal even though we can certainly win. Is there a way to solve this without having to go through a legal process?
