Eviction Services
Ferlio now provides eviction investigation and field support for landlords, attorneys, body corporates, commercial property owners, and public-sector clients. We gather the facts your legal team needs to proceed under South African law.
Unlawful occupation, defaulting tenants, hijacked buildings, and abandoned commercial premises all require more than a letter. They require confirmed identities, occupancy evidence, and a documented trail that attorneys can use in PIE, Rental Housing, and High Court processes.
Our investigators combine on-site surveys, occupant tracing, and attorney-ready reports. We do not carry out illegal lockouts or self-help evictions. We work with your legal representatives so the process stays lawful, discreet, and defensible.
