Dear Mequel

Our telephonic conversations of 27 December 2023 and 25 January 2024, and the email correspondence dated 25 January 2024 and 30 January 2024 refers. 

This email serves as formal notice of your material breach of the signed the lease agreement in that the payments due 15 January 2024 and 25 January 2024 have to date not been paid. The lease agreement is therefore immediately terminated and the deposit paid is forfeited.  You have seven working days from the date hereof  to vacate the premises. 

Please note that all outstanding monies as well as administration, legal and placement fees and any applicable forceful removal costs together with the pro rata rent for the month of February are for your account.  Failure to vacate the premises and return the keys in your possession by 12H00 on Friday,  9 February 2024 will result in forceful removal.  A full statement of account will be provided to you on or before 29 February 2024 and all monies reflected on this statement of account will be due for immediate payment by yourself.  Failure to pay the full amount owed per the statement of account will result in a summons being issued to you at your place of employment, and a garnishee order being served for recovery of the indebted funds from your salary via your employer. what can i do moving faword
