ZIMBABWE Post Properties (Pvt) Ltd (Post Properties) is
claiming $61 000 rental arrears from Family of God church leader Andrew
Wutawunashe.
Post Properties, which is the owner of Gweru Post Office
cubicle 2 sometime in 2015 entered a lease agreement with Wutawunashe that
commenced on July 1, 2016. The lease
agreement was that Wutawunashe would pay monthly rentals of $1 980 and in the
event of failing to pay be entitled to a 14 days written notice to remedy the
breach.
Post Properties was entitled to cancel the agreement, evict
Wutawanashe and claim outstanding rental arrears and holding over damages if
agreement terms were not complied with.
However, Wutawunashe
defaulted paying rentals as agreed and in an attempt to settle the matter out
of court, his representative Michael Mateta executed an acknowledgement of debt
on March 2, 1017 of $40 216, 61.
Wutawunashe is alleged to have failed to clear the debt
despite making an undertaking to do so.
According to court summons filed at the High Court, Wutawunashe’s
occupation of the premises has become unlawful, hence Post Properties initiated
cancellation of the lease agreement and order for eviction.
The rental arrears have accrued to a total of $60 976, 61
as $20 760 accrued after the date of signing of the deed of settlement, March
2, 2017.
The matter has been set down for March 27 after Post
Properties applied for a default judgment because Wutawunashe had not
responded. Daily News
