Do not stay in any place that's managed by trafalgar

Renting a unit from trafalgar has been the WORST EXPERIENCE EVER, they DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANY TENANTS. We have experienced a million problems and they do nothing about it except constantly blaming other people, I understand that trafalgar didn't build the unit but at least check the damn thing before renting it out, you guys are just so unprofessional and never have we ever met the landlord or spoken to the landlord and I as a matter of fact would really appreciate having a chat with the owner just to find out if they know what a poor condition their unit is in, how can you allow someone to live somewhere where the stove does not work, the house cannot get fresh air because if we open the windows then they might break due to it not being secure, the second bedroom cupboard is broken and hasn't been used since we moved in a couple months ago, the main bathroom has not been used either because the shower doesn't work, we had spoken to caliber because trafalgar took no responsibility and caliber sent out Stephen who did a half ass job and fitted in tiles that were missing and put a globe in the kitchen because we had no lights there, he also replaced the broken shower with another broken shower. Initially when we moved in we paid a prorata fee and we only ended up moving in 4 days later due to the incompetence from the agent and trafalgar, we asked for a refund and we barely got anything back, they just stole our money and left, we also paid a cleaning fee which I don't understand, why should the tenant pay a cleaning fee when you guys made the mess, anyway the place was covered in cement and sand and again we weren't refunded they said when we leave then we will get our money but I highly doubt that, we also had to wait a couple of hours when moving in because the keys for the unit were lost apparently so our gate had to stay open and other people had access to open the door, which was really unsafe considering the Bush by our unit and the electric fence doesn't work but we left it. The shower in the en suite was not built properly as well and now every time we take a shower the house kinda gets flooded and we will not pay for any damages caused because we've been emailing, calling every single day for 6 months and every time someone makes and arrangement to come out we agree and take an off day mind you we do not get paid unless it's a valid reason and these aren't considered valid reasons so we weren't getting paid, yet we still kept on taking many off days just to accommodate trafalgar and caliber but they kept disappointing us and never showed up and we never got paid for those days and then when we call they have such an attitude towards us, I have emails and they have call recording, and as for the amount of times they've done an inspection, I'm so done complaining, there's so much wrong with this place, I'm really advising everyone not to live here, you'll go crazy.

Good afternoon, thank you for the reply.

Natasha Herbst, our Residential Manager in Pretoria, did inform you that Trafalgar do not deal with maintenance at this complex.  The owner has his own teams responsible for maintenance.  We will follow up with the owner again in this regard but you need to deal with them directly through Emil (as per the contact details given to you)

Kind regards

Honestly I'm done, I don't give a damn anymore, I'm not taking anymore off days to accommodate that piece piece of **** emil, he is so extremely rude, and besides that he gets paid for doing nothing like most of people involved in villa Bianco whereas we need to actually do work to get paid and if I stay home to entertain emil then I will not be getting paid, I'm just saying with the amount of inspections that were done by now your'll should know what's going on and that when we leave, I want every single last cent back, living in this complex has been the worst experience ever and I really don't want anyone else to go through this, so I will never refer anyone here, nor will I ever stay somewhere that is managed by trafalgar, or built by caliber or the metering system is protea metering, or even if the agents are from huizemark, because honestly living you guys are up to **** here and really doing ********** things, I mean how can you use a metering system that demands their money on the 27th when you only get paid on the last day, and now you left with electricity and rude management, I really hope one day your'll realized what your'll doing and I hope everyone gets justice for being treated like the way majority of your'lls tenants are, maybe you would understand if you were in our situation but you not so you won't get it.

Please note that we can only deal with what the Landlord gives us the mandate to deal with.  Natasha from our Pretoria office is sending your complaints through to the Landlord but our hands are tied

If possible could your'll arrange for the landlord to come see the unit, whatever has been damaged we will not pay for, however if something was damaged by us I have no problem paying for that.
