Dear Mpho Mafaladiso,
I would like to set the record straight, when you moved into Simba early 2020 in the back room we had built you a ramp for access to accommodate yourself (that ramp took up half of the existing stairway width), you barely stayed in that room for two months and then opted to move to the other side of the dwelling.  We have always been most accommodating and even refurbished that bathroom of that side of the dwelling next to your room.  The company has until one month ago absorbed the water and electricity costs, but due to the apparent abuse of leaving heaters burning 24/7 (our electricity bill exceeds R12 000 per month) and bathroom taps being left open by tenants (the water bill has tripled), we decided to have a prepaid meter installed for electricity.  
You have not paid once cent towards the prepaid usage, nor have not paid one cent towards your deposit even though you get asked to contribute towards the deposit.
Please remember that your lease is only a month to month basis and if you are that unhappy, you are welcome to find more suitable accommodation.

I never agreed to move in that back room because i believe even a dog wont stay in that room and i don't owe TW Property anything towards electricity because i paid extra money you requested last month

Please be aware im still looking for a place will be leaving as soon as i find the suitable place
