We also act on behalf of companies such as Rentshield and Tenrisk, who insure the Landlords against defaulting tenants.

1.2 ESTA (Extension of Security of Tenure Act No. 62 of 1997)
These evictions can be a lengthy and expensive process and often time with the end goal not being achieved by either party. Our clients agree that we have created a unique and speedy solution to the so-called ESTA-Ghost. This solution makes it possible for the farm owner as well as the farmworker, to walk away from the process with a sense of achievement.
