COMPLIANCE
We comply with the following acts:

- FICA (Financial Intelligence Centre Act): The Act exists to prevent money laundering, fraud, tax evasion, financing of terrorism, and other related criminal activity that aims to misuse our financial systems. The Act requires certain accountable institutions such as Banks, Estate Agents, and Attorneys to validate and verify their client’s identity before a business transaction can take place.
- Consumer Protection Act of 2008: The goal to accumulate wealth through investment is achievable provided a quality tenant was sourced and you understand the tenant’s rights. If you aren’t 100% informed and fully compliant with the rules and regulations that govern this industry, you won’t be protected from potentially unscrupulous claims from disgruntled tenants, contractors, and other bodies.
- The Social Housing Act 16 of 2008: The Act aims to establish and promote a sustainable social housing environment, to define the functions of national, provincial, and local governments in respect of social housing. To provide for the establishment of the Social Housing Regulatory Authority in order to regulate all social housing institutions obtaining or having obtained public funds.
