AVOID AT ALL COSTS

We bought into a block of flats which was being managed by GVS under Gary Slabbert. After looking at the finances we noticed that the body corporate was paying ridiculous costs for minimal services by GVS for managing the block and garden and cleaning services. We asked for a copy of his contract but he" couldnt find it". So we gave him notice, only for him to find the contract the day that his contract was due to terminate. The contract stated we needed to give him 3 months notice or the contract was renewed for another year - if he had "found the contract" earlier we would have had the 3 months notice period. So we had no option but to renew it for another year in order to give him the 3 months notice. Now we have finally managed to get in the new agents and he is holding us to ransom. He took 3 weeks to hand over the money, is refusing to hand over keys, codes for the gate access, etc. He has blatantly **** so many times to the trustees and owners and doesn't return calls or emails. If you are not in a contract with him already - DONT ever get involved with him or his business. He is only out to rip you off and if you happen to want to terminate his contract he will sabotage you every inch of the way.
