Trafalgar Properties: Rental Deposit ******ion and *****
I have been living at Dune Crest since 2021, leasing through Trafalgar Properties. On June 1st, 2024, I handed over the keys after providing a two-month deposit of R13,000. I now face significant issues retrieving my deposit due to inaccuracies and potentially *****ulent claims by Trafalgar Properties. This deposit is crucial for my son and me.
Anything relating to payments due to me have long waiting periods, however they are quick to send a debt collector for payments allegedly due to them. Detailed Account Sewerage & Water Charges
Property: 127 Dune Crest Issue: Viewing and payment notification for R250 per day Discrepancy: Charges appear inflated and unjustified. Fumigation & Cleaning Charges
Date: 7th business day Amount: R1,250.00 per day Issue: Invoices and maintenance charges for services not rendered Threat: Threatened with a debt collector for these unfounded charges. Painting and Damages Claims
Property: 127 Dune Crest Issue: Discrepancies in in/outgoing inspections and painting "inspections" Amount: R11,397 demanded before returning my deposit Evidence: Clear indication of ***** and ******ion.
My husband informed one of Trafalgar's consultants that he will be leaving April 29th, 2024. This feels like a deliberate attempt to exploit me seeing as my husband has left the country.
Actions Taken Created a table of all email correspondence with Trafalgar Properties Submitted documents to the Housing Tribunal and CSOS Ombudsman.
Conclusion Trafalgar Properties appears to be deliberately delaying the return of my deposit through inaccurate charges and *****ulent claims. I need assistance to ensure that my deposit, which is critical for my family's well-being, is returned promptly.
