Pam Golding Uitenhage Nightmare

I’ve leased a property via Pam Golding Uitenhage for a year, 2 months before the lease expired the agent informed me that the owner don’t want to rent out the propery anymore and I must vacate the property on 31 December when the lease expires. I immediately started to search for a rental in Uitenhage, but couldn’t get a house to let due to the shortage on rental properties, I’ve decided to purchase a home, but unfortunately due to circumstances out of my control I could only move into the property in the first week of January, I informed the agent that I wouldn’t be able to vacate the rental property on 31 December, but will start to move the 1st of January and we were out of the property by 5 January. I informed the agent beforehand that I’ll pay the rental pro-rata for the 5 days. On 4 January I contacted the agent and asked her to come and do a inspection, she scheduled an appointment for 5 January, we met at the house for the inspection and when I asked her when can I expect my deposit and utilities refund she informed me that the principal used it to pay the owner the monthly rent for January after I informed them via email that I’ll be out of the property in the 1st week of January. I decided not to had over the keys until I receive my deposit back, now the owner went to the police stating that the rental lease has expired and I’m vacating the property and withholding any payment and he now demands the keys to the property to move in, but Pam Goldings’s Uitenhage principal used my deposit to pay the rent for January. How can a principal decided to use my deposit to pay for a whole month without consulting with me, I’ve tried to contact him 6 times today, but the just refuse to answer or to return my calls. Please don’t ever use these people the lease a property, they’re really hopeless when it comes to service and if that’s not enough they’ll ***** your money.
