Assignment 2 2024
UNIQUE NUMBER: 527068
DUE DATE: 20 September 2024
Drafting of Commercial Contracts
1. Advising Mrs. B on the Content of the Agreement
Mrs. B, thank you for reaching out for legal assistance. It's great that you're thinking
carefully about the terms you want in your rental agreement. However, some of the
terms you’re proposing could cause legal problems, so it's important to look at them
closely.
a) Age Requirement for Tenants
You mentioned wanting tenants between the ages of 30 and 40 years. While I
understand that you may have specific preferences, this type of restriction could be
seen as age discrimination. According to the Rental Housing Act and the Constitution of
South Africa, discriminating against tenants based on age (unless it's a retirement
village or similar setup) is not allowed. It's important to avoid including this term in the
contract to prevent any legal challenges.
