HUURKOR THE WORST RE EVER!!!!

WORST RE EVER.

I've been leasing an apartment from Huurkor, centurion since Nov 2017 until 30 June 2019. On the 28th June, inspection was scheduled for 13H00, and no one showed up. I sent an email at 13H42 (almost an hour of waiting) to the RE I was communicating with. We scheduled a 2nd one for 9H00 in the morning, but unfortunately I couldn't make it. However, I sent an email an hour before to the RE in question that I am still held in a meeting I will not be able to make it. And therefore, requested for another time slot. I went to the apartment and sat there for almost 2 hours, and no one pitched. The following day I saw an email threatening me that if I don't hand over the keys to the flat they will change the locks and charge the costs to me. Fast forward, no one from Huurkor communicated with after that until an email was sent last week, stating the damages to the apartment, damages I am not aware off. Also, they conducted an inspection without me, and the South African Housing Act states that both parties should be present during inspection. Now Huurkor doesn't want to give me my deposit back saying that they are waiting for a quotation of the damages and I hae to wait till next week for them to get the quote. Again, the Housing Act states that the landlord should refund me my deposit after 21 days after the damages have been paid, of which I am not paying for no damages I know nothing of. Its been more than 21 days now Huurkor still refuses to give me my deposit back, So I have resorted to taking them to court.
