Mills v Three Trick Pony Properties (PTY) Ltd and Others (2021/30440) [2022] ZAGPJHC 654 (6 September 2022)
The court found that the applicant had vacated the property with no intention of returning personally and only retained symbolic possession by keeping the keys and leaving some furniture. This did not amount to effective possession as required by law. Furthermore, the applicant had no right to rent out the property, and the property had since been let on a long-term basis, making restoration of possession impossible. The relief sought was therefore unenforceable, and the application had to fail.
