Over charging

Over charge clients and charge you before even viewing a property. In our complex, a flat rate of R65 for water is charge. Manny charges clients R200. R800 for sanitation and R350 for refuse. This is ridiculous. I know the costs as I have been in the complex for 4 years. When I told him that his pricing is incorrect, I never got the property. I had to pay R200 for a credit check before anything happened. This is not the only property that he is over charging on. On Property 24, another one of his units, in a different complex, has the same charges. Make sure you know the charges in a complex before signing with Manny.

Dear Candice-Leigh

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience.
Please note that as the estate agency, we do not determine or control the water, refuse, sanitation, or related municipal charges in any complex. These amounts are provided to us by landlords and/or body corporates, and we are obliged to reflect them as such.
Regarding your specific application, we have been in contact with Manny, and he has advised that unfortunately your rental application was declined by the landlord. This decision lies solely with the landlord, and is not something within our control.We sincerely regret any frustration this may have caused and appreciate your bringing the matter to our attention.
Kind regards,
