This was after residents at Kenneth Gardens and Nerina Flats in Umbilo expressed their unhappiness about having to pay for their flats while certain individuals rented out their units for profit.
“The city should ensure that people who live in these flats are vetted and found to be qualifying. This political administration is shooting itself in the foot because we won’t tolerate this for too long. It’s enough now.”“These people can afford homes yet they were given units in these flats and because they can afford to live flashy lives they make extra money by sub-letting the units.
“A legal process is under way to address this and allocate these units to deserving, qualifying individuals. The city welcomes reports of such illegal sub-letting without consent of our sub-letting policy. The city updates its tenants’ profiles regularly, and no services are executed if the occupant is an illegal tenant,” said Mayisela.
“The city has approximately 6 000 units under its administration and out of that 1 500 units are under the administration of central Durban. Those who are illegally sub-letting the units are actually facing the music and the city is appealing to residents to come forward with details of whoever they suspect to be engaging in this illegal act.”
