Never trust this man!

I moved into the unit in November 2014, after paying my deposit the month before. I was 6 months into my rent contract of 1 yr and had to give notice. <br> <br> When I moved in to the unit it was SO dirty - it took me 2 days with cleaning ladies and very strong detergents to clean the unit. This after he claimed that it was cleaned. I have photo's to prove this. To top it all - a VERY strong smell of cat pee was all over the place (after he had it cleaned???)<br> <br> My notice was given 16 March to end contract on 30 April. This is because I was head hunted by a company in PE. <br> <br> Within a week they found a tenant that would take the rent over. The property got occupied on 1 May.<br> <br> I was only able to supply my bank details on 4 May. My deposit (R4000) was only refunded on 13th May! And to top it all - less than even half!!!<br> <br> He has not supp**** me with a summary of how he got to this amount. He claims he deducted a cancellation fee as well as the original contract fee that I refused to pay because of receiving the place SO dirty.<br> <br> I know I am not the first person to have such a horrible experience with this man.<br> <br> This needs to STOP!!!<br> <br>
