Cape Talk, Wednesday afternoon

Pippa talks to quite a few people about rental matters, and one of the themes that comes up regularly is folks saying that they don't want to let out properties because once a bad tenant is in, it's impossible to get a bad tenant out. And Marlon Chevalier and her other guests say, Yeah, it is sometimes really not easy. And there's a story being reported on News 24 at the moment, which is about a Camp's Bay home where

Family rented the home in 2020, and then from August 2024, they stopped paying the 60,000 rand a month rent. They said, No, we're not going to pay it. The house is not being properly maintained. And yet, when the homeowner tried to get into the home to assess whether the damage they claimed was in fact so, she was denied access. And they have accumulated debt of 1.4 million rand.
