Hi there Wellington and thank you for your question,
I am a practicing attorney based in South Africa and I will assist you with your question. Please feel free to ask as many follow up questions in order to clarify your question. If you have a new question, you must please open a new thread.
Please keep in mind that our discussions is for general information purposes only. Our engagement on this website does not create an attorney-client relationship.
I assume that he was staying at your house based on a month-to-month oral lease agreement, which you terminated in December 2022?
Would that be fair to say, because there must have been some sort of agreement between the two of you if he was staying in your house.
Did he accept the cancellation notice, or did he dispute it?
