Stellenbosch Student Property Rentals

I want to caution anybody trying to rent student accommodation in Stellenbosch and who is presented with a lease to sign, and where the Lessor/Landlord is described as a Trust, to ask for a copy of the Letters of Authority in respect of the Trust and ensure the person you're dealing with is authorized to act for the Trust. And that the Trust is actually the owner of the property concerned. Many landlords in Stellenbosch hide behind a wall of anonymity using a fictitious Trust and avoid any personal liability that might arise, or even **** prospective tenants.
