<p>I am appalled by the service that I have been receiving from this rental company. I have had my electricity cut off two times in 6 months due to amounts owed by the previous tenant and the owner, and in all of this I've had to pay for the reconnection fees as I was the one who was suffering from not having the lights. On these two occasions I've had to replace all the food that was spoilt in my fridge as a result. I was also being billed for the amounts that are in arrears on the account. </p> <p> </p> <p>But what just puts the icing on top of the cake for the ****py service that's been dished out to me is that I had asked for a six months lease, to which we agreed upon with the agent. The contract was draw out and I signed. Six months passed and I needed an extra month for the property that I had now purchased was not ready. I called the agent and requested for an extra month to which they accepted but requested that I sent them an email as confirmation. The month lapsed and at the end of the month, I received an email sayin that I owe R8k. I emailed the agent to query this amount to which they responded saying...</p> <p> </p> <p>"Hi Sanele,<br /> <br />What is it that you want me to explain regarding the statement? <br /> <br />Also, I looked at your lease, you signed a lease agreement for 12 months and not 6 months as you thought. "</p> <p> </p> <p>This was on May 2nd, the agent that I have been dealing hasn't contacted me since. I just received an email today saying that I am in breach of contract and must pay 3 months rent. </p> <p> </p> <p>Clearly this his should have been brought to my attention when I requested for the extension as I was not handed a copy of the contract so that I could have made the necessary arrangements with the company. </p>
