(10) QUESTION 2 Write notes on the duration of lease agreements that fall under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008. (10) QUESTION 3 Michael rents a flat from Peter. Michael notices that the geyser in the flat is leaking and does not work properly. Michael has to have a cold shower every morning. Michael informs Peter about the problems with the geyser and Peter promises to have the matter attended to, but after a month he has done nothing about the situation. Eventually the geyser ruptures and causes severe water damage to Michael’s furniture and appliances, and the flooring in the flat. When Michael informs Peter of this, Peter says that the geyser’s rupture was caused by fluctuations in water pressure due to the municipality switching the water supply on and off. He refuses to pay for the damage sustained by Michael and tells Michael that he will attend to the ruptured geyser and damaged flooring when he has the time to do so. Michael is furious and has the geyser replaced with a new one. He also has the damaged flooring replaced. Michael informs Peter that he is not paying rent until the costs of the damage to the flat and his appliances have been fully paid for. Peter immediately informs Michael that he has breached the contract and he must vacate the premises. Michael comes to you for legal advice. Discuss in full the respective legal positions of the parties. (20) SECTION B SALE QUESTION 4 Discuss the seller’s duty of custody. (10) QUESTION 5 Discuss the nature of the seller’s obligation to deliver in the case of immovable property. (10) QUESTION 6 Thandi purchases a house from James, who is selling his only property because he is moving to a different city. In terms of the written contract the house is purchased “as is” or “voetstoots”. Thandi takes occupation and registration of the property and the purchase price is paid. A year later Thandi has a solar geyser installed and uses a plumber recommended by James. While the plumber is installing the geyser, he informs Thandi that parts of the roof trusses are rotten and potentially could collapse in future. The fault in the trusses is not immediately visible to the naked eye, but the plumber has seen the same situation in other houses when he has repaired damage to plumbing caused by a collapsed roof. He also mentions that he previously noticed the condition of the trusses when repairing the old geyser for James and informed James on more than one occasion of the potential risk. A month later a section of the roof collapses during a storm and Thandi suffers damage to the house and her furniture and appliances. When she reports this to James, he points out that the house was old and that it was purchased “as is”. James refuses to pay for any of the losses sustained by Thandi. Thandi comes to you for legal advice. Discuss in full Thandi’s legal position. (20) SECTION C SALE AND LEASE QUESTION 7 O wants to sell her house in Sandton and buy an investment property in Cape Town. T has been renting the house in Sandton from O for five years, but the actual lease agreement was only for three years and expired two years ago. However, since the expiration of the lease two years ago, T merely continued to live in the house and paid the rent as usual, which O accepted without objection. When T hears that O wants to sell the house, T insists that the original lease was “renewed” after its expiration on the same terms and conditions as before. Consequently, T alleges that she may remain in occupation for another year and only then may O give her notice. O requests that you provide her with a legal opinion on the following - 7.1 whether she may sell the house even if T is in occupation thereof; (5) 7.2 whether the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 will be applicable to the sale of the property; and (5) 7.3 Whether she may give T notice to vacate the property. (10) In answering you must consider the common law as well as applicable legislation. TOTAL: [100]

, SECTION A LEASE
QUESTION 1


Write notes on the establishment of the tenant’s real right. (10)


The contract itself offers enough protection between the parties to the contract: the lessee
can enforce his/her right against the lessor, even if he/she is not in possession of the
premises and even if his/her right has not been registered. The contractual agreement
gives rise to personal rights between the lessor and the lessee.


Depending on whether we are dealing with a short or a long lease, however, possession
or registration is a requirement for the establishment of the lessee’s real right.


A lease for more than 10 years qualifies as a long lease.


The legal position regarding long leases is regulated by legislation (s 1(2) of the
Formalities in Respect of Leases of Land Act 18 of 1969) and the common law, as adapted
by the South African courts. Our courts replaced a Roman law distinction between
“singular” and “universal” successors (which distinction does not exist in the modern law
of succession and, therefore, has no meaning in modern South African law) with the
distinction between gratuitous successors (successores lucrativi) and onerous
successors (successores onerosi),


A gratuitous successor is someone who gives no counter-performance for the property,
such as the inheritor or donee of property. An onerous successor is someone who gives
counter-performance for the property, such as a buyer.


The legal position can be summarised as follows:


Successores lucrativi are always bound by the lease for the full period of the lease
agreement.
