Predatory Contracts - avoid at all costs.
If you buy from there, they charge you both rent and levies at the same time, instead of just rent like every other tenant.
These people are ***** and *********, you should avoid them at all costs. Rather buy from people who do not try to make a profit by basically *****ing money from you.

04 Feb 2022, 11:14Good day Willem
Thank you for your review.
We regret that you found it is necessary to review via this platform after our attempts to clear the confusion.
As discussed with you and disclosed in clause 6 in your contract, you only take ownership of the property once it is registered in your name. The Developer does however provide an option to take immediate occupation provided that occupation rent is paid to the Developer. This means that you rent the property from the Developer whilst the registration is in process. Once registration is completed, the occupation rent falls away.
When occupation of a unit is taken, levies are payable as the residents are making use of basic services that are covered under the levies such as water, refuse removal, upkeep of the estate (maintenance), security, and garden services.
We will keep you updated on the progress of the registration of the property, and once done, occupational rent will no longer be applicable as confirmed.
Should you need any assistance in the interim, kindly contact our Client Care line on ***.
Regards,
Management

16 Mar 2022, 09:40You didn't attempt to resolve anything, you spoke down me to like I'm a child that knows nothing about the rental market.
You try to explain it as if you are not doing anything wrong. When ANY landlord charges rent, be that occupational rent or just normal rent, it must include at the owners cost, the levies and other rates and taxes. By your own admission, the property is only mine once transferred in my name, so those costs incured by the residents in terms of the services funded by the levy, should come out my the rental amount and not be charged separately because that is for the account of the owner of the proper, which you clearly stated is yourself until such time as its transferred in my name.
You are clearly trying to take advantage of people, this is not a case of me not understanding how it works, I own several rental properties and have bought several properties, including another investment property this year.
There is no confusion here, just ********* business practices on your behalf. I can't explain this any clearer to you without drawing you a picture, because clearly you are the ones who are confused and don't understand how a fair rental agreement works.
But I already took my business somewhere else and spent another million on another investment property with another developer.
