ESTA occupier
An occupier whose rights or eviction route may be governed by the Extension of Security of Tenure Act, usually in rural or agricultural land contexts.
Definition
ESTA occupier questions should be reviewed through the land history, permission to occupy, employment or family connection, date occupation began, notices, municipality or Land Claims Court process, vulnerable-person facts, alternative accommodation issues, and whether PIE, ordinary lease law, or ESTA is the correct framework. The label can materially change the eviction route and should be checked before action.
