Afhco Property Management *********** tenants.

I stayed in Golf park in Pretoria West, which was managed by Huurkor and later sold to Afhco Property Management in 2017.

Peter Uys and Michael came to address us the tenants and tell us more about Afhco Property Management. I took then asked Peter Uys if we are going to sign new lease agreement with Afhco Property Management or what. He told me that the same terms and conditions of Huurkor still applies. During my stay there I noticed that Afhco Property Management renovate a unit once a tenant moves out.

January 2020 I put in my notice that I will be moving out end of the month. Everything went well up until two weeks ago when I asked about my deposit. At first I was send from Pilar to post.

I asked for the last statement and to my surprise from the 5200 Tha was due to me I only received 1500. When I called in and wanted clarity I was told that the unit was repainted and they charged me 3000.

I asked to speak to the building manager by the name of Peter Uys but he couldn't take my call and made an appointment to see me last Tuesday. Apon my arrival Peter was in another meeting and had to wait ( this just shows the level of respect for other people's time). He eventually came out after I had to make a noise to see his boss as I was there for the meeting and no one wanted to assist me.

We sat down and I told him and shown him the terms and conditions of the lease agreement I signed stated that when I leave the unit in must be cleaned which I did when I left.

He later send me a email stating telling that Afhco Property Management is willing to pay me half of the painting cost which is 1500,reason being that it is my responsibility still for the painting. I responded to him and I asked him where is it stated on the contract that I am liable for painting?? I told him I have proof that nothing was broken and my unit was clean, that's when he went awol.

Afhco Property Management is ripping people off by revamping units at the cost of tenants. I won't take this lying down, I want my full deposit.
