Abstract
The demand for housing in South Africa is more than what the state can provide. This is demonstrated by reported cases of unauthorized occupation of land and the increased litigation in housing rights rendering housing as the most litigated socio-economic right in the constitutional democracy. Although there have been laws such as PIE in place to deal with procedural requirements of eviction, illegal eviction has continued to take place in municipalities. Provision for alternative accommodation has become a strict requirement for the courts to grant eviction. The responsibility to provide alternative accommodation has been given to municipalities. The research explores challenges accompanied by the provision of alternative accommodation by municipalities to evicted residents through a case study by the City of Tshwane
