You're a Black person stay away from Trafalgar rental agency in PE

As a Black person in Port Elizabeth, do not rent any property from Trafalgar Mill Park, PE. They will ill treat you because you're a Black person and are complaining about the racial treatment of other White people in the property you're renting and not want to return your deposit. They are holding my deposit money, claiming that I didn't paint the flat to their perfection, they are claiming a R10 000 quotation for repainting the place. Ironically, the same amount of their quote equals to the deposit they are holding. All this is only because I complained about the racial treatment from the property I was moving out from 'being called a ****** that belongs to the forest' by 1 of the tenants and for I'll treatment of my children in the complex by White people not allowing them to play. Instead of resolving the problem, they make sure that they frustrate me even further. Also if you're looking for a peace of mind stay away from the Kew Gardens properties no 28 Park Drive, Central, Port Elizabeth.

Reviewer Update
If you're a Black person, stay away from Trafalgar rental agency in PE. They are holding my R10 500. 00 deposit claiming that I did not paint to their satisfaction. The paint I found in the house would peal when I cleaned the children hand marks on the wall, hence all the effort of personally painting (this was advice from their agent). Once I moved out and asked for my money with their office they wanted me to fix all the things that were wrong on the property and repaint. In my response, I disputed their claims and also complained about the ill treatment from White people at Kew Gardens (Park Drive PE). Here, my children were not allowed to play at the yard as some certain White people would shout at them. Finally, when I was moving out, 1 of the tenants was telling me to stop moving as it was late and I told them where to get off from there a quarrel that lead to me being called a '****** that is from the bushes' came. I reported on this in my email about the issues of this property. Instead I was served by a quote of R10 000, which ironically, Trafalgar owes me R10 500.00.

Good day, 
This is not a racial issue - work was not done properly and we were instructed by the owner.  Trafalgar is just the agent
