Urgent Evictions in Terms of the Extension of Security of Tenure Act

The court can give a provisional order for an urgent eviction when:

  • There is a real and immediate danger that the occupier might harm someone or something
  • There is nothing else that can be done to prevent this harm from happening
  • The owner or any other person will suffer more if the eviction does not happen, than the occupier will suffer if the eviction does take place
