Question posted in the Landlord Tenant Law category relating to Gauteng
I have been given 7 days verbal notice to vacate my flat because my rent is in arrears. I have received nothing in writing and informed my landlord that I will be contesting the eviction. She said that if I don't leave by tomorrow she will throw my stuff on the pavement and no one will stop her. What can I legally do as I have no other place to move to
