They refuse to give my deposit

Zelri Properties are ******, they rude and they ***********. I inherited this leasing company from kingdom leasing which were doing an outstanding job managing and caring for their tenants and to this day it baffles me how any landlord would transfer this Zelri Properties. I have been taken from pillar to post and to this day I am still awaiting my deposit which my the way has been reduced to almost nothing because of double tapes on the bedroom wall and the lounge for that they had to repaint the whole flat. I have spoken to Amila, Lizelle(forever in meetings) she eventually came back to me. we came to an agreement but no action. And again I am sending emails and talking to the whole company because she is the only one who refunds deposits but is never in the office. The rest of everybody there is well, just there. These people know nothing about customer service and all they want is more of our money. When you sign a contract with a leasing agent you agree you will have your deposit within 14days ones you vacate the premises it looks like it takes them months to this this and I am most certain they do not refund it with interest as they should and would if you were late with your rent.

I have read people's reviews and thought it would be different for me but well that is how they operate. Anything to make a penny. No care whatsoever. I was even invited for coffee at their office to resolve this. Now What? I must use my petrol to go all the way to Pretoria to get a quarter of my deposit for coffee? Really? I don't know how this business is still functioning with the way they treat their tenants. They will even ask for your name and the reason for your call. And they know not to say Lizelle is in a meeting. I refuse to waste my petrol to go for coffee. And they wonder why people resort to these platforms. Infact they used to it. They already said. Money does not grow on trees. We all work hard for it. And a deposit at one place is a deposit at another. If you cared about your tenants you would know this. And you would give refunds in a timely manner. I moved out on the 31st of December 2018 and its 31 January 2019 and I am still waiting.

Unprofessional, *********** and A ****

We requested for your banking details on 17/01/2019 already but you did not forward the requested information to us. The corrected invoice was received as we accommodated you with repairs & costs which was suppose to have been for your account based on your entry & exit inspection received. We only received your banking details this morning. We have absolutely no problem in refunding any deposit. We would have been able to refund the deposit already the 1st week of January 2019 if there were no damages in the unit which we had to have repaired. But unfortunately the unit was left in a condition that repairs had to be conducted. The remaining balance of the deposit will be transferred to you today as stipulated in my communication to you this morning.

I received an email stating that the payment will be done during the course of today 01/02/2019 now when I ask for proof of payment? Lizelle never said that and it will be done on Monday. I must spend another weekend again waiting. And she says they don't refuse to pay my deposit? Please enlighten? Unless I do not know what "TODAY" means

Nowhere did I say the payment will only be done on Monday. Please calm down & read my emails properly. I said I confirmed with Chris this morning that the payment will be done today, at that point in time I have not yet received your banking details & I advised him that if we don't receive your banking details before 13h00 today - that transfer will only be done on Monday BUT we received your banking details this morning & as confirmed in my reply email this afternoon the transfer will be done today. It was loaded in the bank already & I await the proof of payment as soon as the account manager released the transfer in the bank. As indicated this morning & confirmed telephonically I will forward the proof of payment to you today still.
