DO NOT STAY AT MAFADI BUILDINGS!!!

I have been a tenant at The Windmill Apartments on Main Street in Johannesburg CBD since December 2017. The building is infested with ****roaches and I don't remember a time when the company sent a pest control company to come and fumigate the units. We have complained about what we are being charged for hot water on our bills for years now and the problem has still not been resolved.

The garage where we park our cars is open all day and all night. The parking garage door has not been working the whole year. We see strangers (Even Nyaope boys), walking in and out of the building through the garage because of this. We worry about the safety of our cars and even our flats being broken into because there is no security that guards the garage door.

The reception floor tiles get slippery when wet, usually when it rains because there is a pipe that is hanging right above the reception door. A few people in the building have slipped and hurt themselves because of this.

We have also not had any hot water for 3 days now (From Saturday 20 July 2019), the caretaker has been notified of this and he has done nothing to aid the situation. He has not notified the office or the company that installed the water heater.

We have complained to the office, we have even gone as far as nominating a tenants' committee to help address the issues we have as tenants but emails go unanswered for months on end. Basic maintenance has proven to be too much to ask of Mafadi and yet we are expected to pay rent on time.

DO NOT STAY THERE!!!!
