FUNGI is horrible!!

The management is absolutely terrible. While the apartments are nice, M&T and the utility service provider they use, Fungi, are definitely not recommendable at all. The communal electricity bills are ridiculously high. Over half normal usage and the total that it amounts to if added up for all units even at 80% capacity for the complex is a ridiculous sum (tens of thousands). With Fungi, as a renter/tenant, you will also pay what could be considered as levies (communal electricity, management fee, sanitation network access charge, water network access charge, sewerage consumption) and this is not clearly defined in the contract. This is all on top of rent (13k+)and personal electricity consumption. When Fungi is contacted to query these issues, there is little to no response and the calls cut out. They also take excessively long to answer questions via email and no definitive answers are given. Internal power outages were also an issue and the time it takes to sort it out is also unacceptable. This has gotten a bit better for now. Go view other ratings (like Hello Peter) to compare. Out of 107 reviews 104 were rated 1 star. As a whole, residents are very unhappy and many are leaving, not renewing their leases. FUNGI is also absolutely terrible. Their system is not transparent at all and they are about 70 percent of the reason that people are unhappy. Huge charges that don't make sense and their system is not reliable. One moment you fine, then they bill you because previous charges were not deducted. That then becomes the tenants problem. Disgusting.

As a tenant, I would definitely not recommend M&T developments especially while they use FUNGI as their utility provider at all. As a big corporate, they really don't seem to care. This is unfortunate. Do your homework before considering moving in.
