A residential lease agreement template South Africa landlords can sign directly with a tenant, with no agent involved.

Residential Lease Agreement Template - No Agent Involvement Template - South Africa

No agent involvement

Summary A Residential Lease Agreement can be used when signing a property lease or Rental Agreement with a tenant for a residential property.

Note: it is recommended that you obtain the lessee’s details, and conduct a background check before finalising the Lease Agreement. Our Tenant Application Form can be used for this purpose.

If there is an estate agent involved in sourcing and introducing the tenant, then have a look at our Residential Lease Agreement - with agent involved, which provides for the agent's commission.

What does the Lease of Residential Property Agreement say? The Agreement of Lease covers the following issues: Definitions; Lease; Rental and Deposit; Defects List; Additional Amounts; Acknowledgements; Occupation; Defects and Maintenance; Use; Improvements; Notices; Breach; General.

What does the rental agreement look like? The template property rental contract can be printed onto eight pages.

What do you need to do to use a standard Property Rental Contract?

  • Complete the relevant details in the sample rental contract.
  • Read the document to ensure that it suits your requirements. Make any changes as you may require.
  • Ensure that the Rental Agreement is signed by both the lessor and the lessee.

Also known as: Rental Agreement; Lease Agreement; Property Rental Agreement; Rental Contract; Terms of Lease; Rental Terms and Conditions; Lease of Property Agreement; Tenancy Agreement.

 

Residential lease agreement template South Africa, no agent

When to use this residential lease agreement

This is the lease on its own, for a landlord letting a house, flat or townhouse directly with no agent involved.

The two things worth spending time on are the deposit and the incoming inspection. Get those right and most deposit arguments at the end of the tenancy simply do not happen.

Who this template is for

Private landlords who already have their screening process sorted and just need a properly drafted residential lease agreement to sign.

What you get

  • An editable document in Microsoft Word, plus a PDF copy
  • Wording drafted and reviewed by a lawyer
  • Clauses covering rent, escalation, deposit, maintenance, notice and breach
  • Instant download after purchase

How to complete it

  • Read the document in full before filling anything in
  • Fill in the rent, escalation, deposit and lease period
  • Do the incoming inspection with the tenant present, and both sign it
  • Keep the deposit in an interest-bearing account, as the Rental Housing Act requires
  • Both parties sign the lease and each keeps a copy

Good to know

A residential lease agreement is a template for you to adapt, not legal advice on your letting. Residential letting in South Africa is governed by the Rental Housing Act and the Consumer Protection Act, which set rules on deposits, inspections and notice periods, so it is worth having an attorney review your final wording.
