M&T Centurion exploiting Tenant rates and services
Fungi manages electricity for M&T tenants in Centurion and it's the worst billing system you can ever imagine. Hundreds of tenants are complaining but no one can help not even M&T or Fungi staff. We have a Whats group for tenants at Die Hoewes Towers in Centurion and last year we paid an average of about R1300 now this year we are paying between R2500 to R3000 in single and 2 bedroom apartments. Please help us. We have recently learnt that we are being charged for water reheating for an entire block and decided per unit amongst other costs. We can't even load electricity when we don't have electricity because you can only use the app which doesn't function sometimes and we see. Many units dark in the evening because of these functionalities. The Landlord uses water excessively in the garden and we are being charged. Our hope is that Fungi and M&T can be thoroughly investigated as we are aware the body corporate is in debt to eskom and municipality and we are being punished for this. And none of the promised features advertised are availabke such as Laundry, car wash, wifi, gym facilities so we really don't know what we are paying so much money for. Plus rent going up over 8% doesn't make this any easier. We are paying more than advertised. It's rediculous and we can't live in peace because the Landlord is always taking pictures and following people around. Please advise how to escalate this matter to an investigation.

Founders Hill is disappointing
Beautiful apartments but poorly maintained. Power outages, rude staff and incessant rules that hardly make sense. Safety can be compromised, you won’t get back your deposit from Founders Hill even if you complete your lease. Look elsewhere before renting there, not worth it at all

WORST EXPERIENCE
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the service I have received. For over a year, I have been trying to resolve the same issue without any meaningful progress. This prolonged delay is unacceptable and has caused me significant frustration. The only thing they ever attend to is when a tenant has to make payments. Their account manager is never available when she needs to attend to a tenant's needs.

Trauma after trauma at Waterfall Crest Complex in Midrand
I've stayed here for 3 years, in 2024 I had 2 break-ins while I was sleeping inside my apartment. No one from the property came to inspect or to assist with anything, I was instructed to inform the police and to close all my windows and doors. The one bedroom units have poor ventilation and when I reported mold in my bathroom, I was told I'd be charged for re-painting. In 2023, my car window was broken during grass cutting and when the property was re-painting outside the apartments in October 2025, they spilled paint on my car and they refused to take accountability. In November I moved to a different unit and I had the most horrible experience. My pre exit-inspection of my old unit went well but just after I moved into my new unit, during the final inspection, there was suddenly an oil stain in my old parking space and I was told I'd be charged R3000, despite my car being new and have never had any oil spilling problems. More than half off my deposit was held without any explanation. I requested an invoice for the charges and to date I haven't received any communication. There are no functional security cameras within the complex, tenants are expected to find ways to guard their parking spaces when they are not home. We are also expected to repaint the units as if no one has lived in it when we move out. I was also informed that according to the lease, wear and tear is not different from intentional damage. This was literally demonstrated to me on record by Adrian the caretaker who was inspecting my unit and whom made my whole experience a nightmare.

M&T developments in rentals.
I am renting at Eco Park East owned and managed by M&T. They just switch off electricity in the tenanted units without engaging the tenants. No letter of demand, no communication whatsoever. This is some kind of bullying and disrespecting their tenants.

0 STARS for MT Promises
In my experience, I strongly advise people to stay away from this property developer. During my tenancy, multiple basic issues were never resolved, including ongoing electricity and water supply problems. Most seriously, I was left without a properly functioning toilet for over six months, despite repeated written requests. This created unhygienic living conditions that had a direct impact on my household and caused significant stress and health concerns for my fiancée. I was also denied full access to the unit for the duration of my lease due to missing keys that were never provided. These issues were raised repeatedly and acknowledged, yet remained unresolved. After vacating the property, my deposit was withheld without any itemised breakdown or invoice within the legally required timeframe. I am currently pursuing this matter through formal legal channels. This is my personal experience, and I’m sharing it so that others can make an informed decision before renting here. I would not recommend this developer to anyone who expects basic maintenance, accountability, or tenant care.
