JUST PROPERTY MONTANA / MOOT - Rather be homeless than rent from them

Rented from Just Property Montana / Moot for 1 year and 3 months.

No issue with late payments, or even the rental property being neglected. but then i started getting sick of complaining about DSTV and ****roaches had begun to take over my furniture... see below my full complaint at the Housing Tribunal, as they now want to use my Deposit to pay for PEST CONTROL after i complained for 5 months and they did nothing.

On 18th of September 2017 I had started to get the DSTV fixed after struggling for months to get someone out, to fix DSTV that should have been working in the first place since I had moved in in February 2017, as per contract On the 23rd of January 2018 I had voiced my concern on the roaches already. No response. On the 7th of February 2018 I had complained about the ****roaches, and I was instructed to leave the basin plugs inside. No other resolve. On 22nd of February 2018 I had reiterated my concern that I had not received any feedback on the roaches, just to not receive any feedback again. On the 9th of March 2018 I contacted the care taker after speaking to him verbally as well, no resolve. On the 12th of March 2018 I requested more info AGAIN on the DSTV that had been fiddled with and the answer was the same as the 14th of March, none. On 19th of March 2018 I again raised my concerns on the roaches and the DSTV, that I paid R 1000 odd to get fixed and was fiddled with overnight. No response.

I have to clean out cupboards every Sunday, and spray Doom everywhere. I average buy 3 bottles of Doom a week, that’s withstanding the “Drift”and the Dyroach which is additional.

I have had to cut open the bottom of my couches, as the roaches have gotten into the inside and I had to damage my own couches which was bought in November 2017.( R6 400) My Plasma stand, was beyond saving, the roaches no matter how much you sprayed they went into the cracks, had to throw that away. Another R 900 I lost in this game. I had to buy a new washing machine, as the one I had is now roach invested, they crawl from any hole. ( R 1200 ) smart enough not to store it at 13 Birkwood as it would just end up the same way as the old one. This goes the same for my fridge, which is invested with them, even on the inside, and let me tell you no amount of doom will fix that. Its embarrassing to say the least to have people over and a random roach made it inside your fridge.

If I am not mistaken DSTV was supposed to be working when I had moved in, not the case, had to get 2 different people to fix it at MY account as well. But after that I paid a whole month without being able to watch DSTV, as someone fiddled with my line, I had paid to fix. R 980 down the drain for subscription I cannot watch AGAIN.

The humiliation of a roach running out of my laptop bag in my offices in Sandton, was one for the books. Luckily no one tied the 2 separate fumigation incidents to me. More than welcome to confirm any of these details.

I am quite looking forward to see what the physical NET cost of me getting rid of the roaches I have been warning and pleading about for 5 months will be. In all honesty I am the one that is suffering damage here.

In actual fact, from Just Property ( Most of the Agents) until the Care Taker and Owner I have raised my concern with all involved. And NO ONE did anything to prevent me from suffering so much loss. I bought all my stuff new when I moved in there, and now I’m having to scour around looking for second hand things to buy to replace my stuff because my pleading for help fell on deaf ears.

Please also don’t waste time and money in fumigating one unit, the problem is broad and comes from the drains. I know I have tried numerous times. The level of disgust one has whilst cooking and a roach runs along the stove in front of guests cannot be described, so please enlighten me as to why I should run around availing myself at last minute at 6am in the morning for something I have been complaining about for ages.
