See the woman sharing her realisation
Living in an apartment and affording a car is a tricky thing to achieve in South Africa, given the interest rates that are forever fluctuating.
In the last couple of months, South Africa has seen a rise in tenant evictions because of nonpayment.
PayProp’s latest market report (April to June 2023) revealed a rise in the number of tenants in arrears.
"The national percentage of tenants in arrears ticked up slightly this quarter, from 18.0% to 18.4%."
