VARSITY STUDIOS IS A ****
One of the most horrible buildings under Feenstra group. This student rental is a **** on so many levels. In 2020 me and many others app**** after the building was advertised and there was even a deposit special of R500 excluding admin fee.
Moving in to the building beginning of 2021 was a struggle since the building was unfinished. We spend the first three months in a building that was constantly under intense construction, noise, dust, unfinished commune bathrooms... While classes where ongoing for most students.
We were later ambushed into altering our contracts and maximizing any amount that might be awarded to us by both private bursaries and NSFAS which meant even if your monthly rental was less you would still have to pay more. This was said to be done to assist students with electricity depletion, those who had pay an overlap payment, meals from building canteen as well as other things unaccounted things... For those who chose not to use this surplus would have an option to make an application to get their surplus and deposit back to students, 21 days after moving out (end of contract).
We endured living in this problematic building (our fault for enduring ", now it is 2022 and this company has breached all terms in our second contract. They still haven't refunded students their DEPOSIT nor the surplus from student accounts. All varsity studios employees are telling different stories (that is when they eventually decide to respond). Those who are dealing with student accounts are also not transparent with anything.
If you are a student and value your mental health and peace. This is definitely not the rental company you want to contract with. They are ******** and they have they own pocket's best interests and not yours.
