The Property Law Alliance – Episode 251 (Part 1)

https://youtu.be/rnqXvs5qmvM?si=8XMwR74CFcmBY6qC

In this episode [251/1], Bruno Miguel Simao of Bruno Simao Attorneys and Nicholas Brodie of SBL Incorporated discuss the different types of business structures available in the South African legal landscape and explain why companies remain the preferred vehicle for conducting business under the Companies Act.

We discuss the differences between private companies (PTY Ltd), public companies (Ltd), trusts, and partnerships, including the legal protections, risks, transparency issues, and practical challenges associated with each structure.

We also break down the concepts of Small Business Corporations (SBCs) and Turnover Tax, explaining how these are tax classifications rather than separate legal entities, and how qualifying businesses can benefit from reduced tax rates and simplified tax structures.

🏡 Tenant Cancels Early – Can You Recover Agent Commission? https://youtu.be/zqdEt4ZXAC8

In this episode [250/2], Bruno Miguel Simao of Bruno Simao Attorneys and Nicholas Brodie of SBL Incorporated discuss property practitioners.

You appoint a property practitioner (placing agent), not to manage your property, but simply to find you a tenant. The practitioner does their job, places a tenant, deposit is paid, and everything looks good… until two weeks later, the tenant gives notice to cancel the lease.

In this episode, Bruno and Nicholas discuss what the law says and what needs to happen regarding the property practitioner's commission in the event of early cancellation.

Signing a lease agreement is something that happens every day in the rental industry… but it’s also one of those things where small skipped steps can turn into big problems later on.

Things like proper tenant vetting, signed mandates, deposits before key-handover, disclosure forms, and entry inspections may seem like "I'll get to it later" admin until there’s a dispute.

Luckily, having the right process in place from the start can save everyone a lot of stress later.

We put together this simple Lease Agreement Checklist as a helpful guide to make sure the important things don’t get missed.

👉 Draft Amendments to the PIE Act: What Landlords Need to Know

https://youtu.be/hZZg25XDeGk

In this episode [250/1], Bruno Miguel Simao of Bruno Simao Attorneys and Nicholas Brodie of SBL Incorporated discuss an important and timely topic: the proposed amendments to the Prevention of Illegal Eviction and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act (PIE Act).

Recently, the Department of Human Settlements released a draft bill for public comment, and there’s a 60-day window for individuals, property owners, and legal professionals to submit their input. Naturally, whenever legislation, especially around evictions or property rights, is proposed, it tends to create concern and uncertainty.

But here’s the thing: this is still a proposal. Nothing has been finalised yet, and there’s a process in place specifically to gather feedback and refine the bill before it becomes law.

Listen to Bruno and Nicholas' discussion on the proposed changes and what you need to know. ✨
