⚖️Court rules students can be evicted from university-provided accommodation because it's supposed to be temporary😧 TheCitizenNews Read the story⬇️
While eleven students were initially permitted to remain in their accommodation for the 2021 academic year, they were later asked to relocate to alternative housing provided by the property company for maintenance and cleaning at the main site. This group also refused to comply with the request.
On 12 January 2021, the property company deployed security guards to remove the occupants. However, their resistance led the property company to seek an eviction order from the Western Cape High Court, which was denied due to the case not falling under the Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act .
Subsequently, the property company appealed the decision to the SCA, arguing that PIE should not be applicable since student residences do not serve as the students’ permanent homes. The students come from their own homes to attend university, and eviction would not render them homeless, as they would have alternative housing options.
The judges further explained that since student accommodation does not serve as the students’ primary homes and does not replace their original residences, PIE does not apply in this context. The court found that unless proven otherwise, student housing does not displace or replace the students’ existing homes.
