(1) Where a control order has specified a maximum number of persons who may use or occupy the premises concerned, the owner or occupier of the premises concerned shall, within seven days of the date of the service of the order, determine which persons who are using or occupying the premises he will require to vacate the premises in order not to exceed the maximum number and he shall submit that list to the authority within whose area the premises concerned are situated:
Provided that if such owner or occupier fails to submit such list within the aforesaid period the authority shall itself prepare such list.
(2) Upon receipt of a list submitted in terms of subsection (1) or upon the preparation of a list in terms of the proviso to that subsection, as the case may be, the authority shall serve written notice on the persons whose names appear on the list stating that they are required to vacate the premises concerned within a specified period which shall not be more than forty-five days from the date of such service.
(3) A list referred to in subsection (1) may from time to time be changed by agreement between the owner or occupier and the authority concerned:
Provided that—
(i) the authority shall serve written notice on the persons whose names appear on such amended list that they are required to vacate the premises concerned within a specified period which shall not be more than forty-five days from the date of such service;
(ii) no such change shall have the effect of causing the maximum number of persons who may occupy the premises in terms of the control order to be exceeded.
(4) A control order referred to in subsection (1) shall—
(a) have the same effect in relation to a person whose name appears on the list referred to in subsection (1) or which has been changed in terms of subsection (3) as an order for ejectment made by a magistrates court against such person; and (b) be enforceable at the instance of the authority concerned.
(5) Any person whose name appears on the list referred to in subsection (1) or which has been changed in terms of subsection (3) and who, after the expiry of the period within which he is required to vacate the premises in terms of subsection (2) or (3), as the case may be—
(a) continues to use or occupy the premises concerned; or
(b) by resuming use or occupation of the premises concerned causes the maximum number of persons who may use or occupy the premises in terms of the control order concerned to be exceeded; shall be guilty of an offence.
