Route 82 Development - Please do not **** me my hard earned MONEY!!

They refuse to pay back deposit money!!!

I got an offer to study abroad and explained this to Victor, Patricia & Clarissa. I put in notice on the 27th to Patricia and formalised the notice in writing, . I was advised by Patricia to vacate the property by 28th of September because a new tenant will be moving in on the 1st of October and the deposit money will be paid within 14 days of vacating. I handed the keys to her when I vacated on the 28th. This is not reasonable and fair as per the lease agreement state I do not agree to being charged R5 950 plus the R500 I paid in August to top up my deposit for early termination. Where is the interest earned on the deposit? I will not be ****med like this 1. Because of the term that was left before the extended period was due to terminate (3 months) 2. Patricia said the was already a tenant moving in 3. I as a tenant do not agree that this is a reasonable cancellation as per section 22 & 12 of the contract.

On the 18th of October I phoned Patricia and she was so rude and of no help to me and I eventually emailed Andrea who said I wont paid back the deposit money because I terminated 3 months before my lease ended and I on top of that have to pay for partial painting to the amount of R1 050
