Chris Lansberg my previous Landlord refuses to refund my deposit.

I had a very bad experience with my landlord, Chris Landsberg, who has various properties that he rents out privately. I rented from him for 10-years and was always up to date, never missed a rent payment. In November 2022, without any valid reason he started to treat me very poorly, denied me access to the parking space which was included- and agreed upon in my Rent agreement, for which I paid. He even assaulted and threatened me, which eventually gave me no option but to find another place to stay. I gave him 30-days' notice, moved out and now he refuses that pay back my Deposit and even blocked me so I can't get hold of him. The property is in a much better condition than it was when I moved-into it and I had to fix many things myself, because he hardly ever did what he promised, but I still paid my rent in full during this time. He also **** by saying that he supp**** me with full gas bottles when I moved in, which was not the case, and I can proof it. The least he can do is to pay back my Deposit. This is theft and I'm in the process of taking this further with the Rental Tribunal.

Good day, I'm so sorry to hear this - And sorry for the very late responds from Landlord Services East Rand - Please go to the Housing Tribunal in your area - as all Landlord's must refund you. This is against the law not to refund you. Hope you came right. All landlords must provide you the quotes, with the supporting documents and the final payment proof of all expenses cost by you. - Always remember to have a copy of the in and out inspection signed by both parties. *Linda-Anne* LL Services East Rand
