            • Just Let Us (Pty) Ltd is a letting agency that administrates all matters

                relating to the letting of residential units. Just Let Us will source tenants
                on behalf of their clients, collect rent and will take a commission for

                this.


            • Just Let Us has the practice of collecting a month’s rent upfront from the

                tenants to serve as a security deposit. On a monthly basis Just Let Us
                retains 10% of the rentals received as commission and pays the

                remaining 90% across to the owner of the property. In the current tax

                year, a deposit of R24 000 is collected and 5 months’ rent of R24 000 a

                month is collected. The deposit is placed in a trust account that is
                separate from the account that the rentals are put in.
