The Eviction Notice For Squatters is a crucial legal document used in South African property law when dealing with unlawful occupation of property. It must strictly comply with the Prevention of Illegal Eviction and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act (PIE Act) and constitutional requirements, which protect against arbitrary evictions. This notice is typically used when informal settlers or unauthorized occupants have taken possession of private or public property without the owner's consent. The document must include specific details about the property, clear identification of parties involved, explicit vacation demands, and information about occupiers' rights. It serves as the initial step before court proceedings and must be properly served to all affected parties. The notice needs to be particularly mindful of vulnerable occupants and those who have been in occupation for extended periods, as additional requirements may apply under South African law.
