Terms of use and disclaimer

Last updated 30 October 2026.

General information and templates, not legal advice

KayaPact gives general information and document templates based on the Rental Housing Act, the Consumer Protection Act and related laws. It is not legal advice and does not create a lawyer-client relationship. Laws and your lease may change the answer for your situation: for disputes, speak to the Rental Housing Tribunal in your province, a Rental Housing Information Office, Legal Aid South Africa or an attorney.

KayaPact is not a law firm and its people are not acting as your attorneys. Using the site does not create an attorney-client relationship. Nothing on this site is financial advice or a recommendation to buy, sell or let any property.

Accuracy

We take our rules from the Acts and official government sources and test our calculations, but laws change, courts interpret them, and the facts of your situation matter. Documents you create are your responsibility: read them, adapt them and, where the stakes are high, have them checked.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, this site or its results. Get professional advice for important decisions and disputes.

Advertising and links

The site may display labelled advertising. We do not use affiliate or referral links. Links to official sources are provided for convenience.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date above shows the latest version.
