Question posted in the Landlord Tenant Law category relating to Western Cape

Hi there I need advice to what I much do about my situation at present. In 2012 we bought purchased a Wendy house from our landlords brother for amount of R18000, which was on her property and currently still is. We stayed in it for almost 10 years, from 2017 she cut of our electricity and water until we moved out in Feb this year. We paid her rent which included her water, electricity and usage of her land on which our Wendy was on. We have moved out, but she does not want to give remuneration for the wendy, even if she has someone staying in it currently, she confirmed if before we remove the Wendy we must pay her an X amount. We are in possession of our purchase agreement. What can we do in this situation, is she hi jacking our wendy. Is this lawfully.

Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment, even if it is R150 or R200.

Is the Wendy built into the ground, or is it just resting on bricks/supports on the ground?
