***** and ****ming by Andre Verwey

1)When i rented out the unit as stated in my contract. I was due to take up occupation from the 1st of November 2024, /which i paid the full rental amount, full deposit, service fees, contract fees. But i never took occupation of the unit because the tenant was still occupying the unit. Andre advised me to seek another accommodation in the interim and said he would re-imburse me for those days that I had booked for. I only took up occupation to Unit A14 Forest Place on the 6th of November 2024 but only received the keys on the afternoon of the 5th November 2024. The accommodation that i had checked into through his advice was that i should book until the 5th of November 2024 and that the unit will be available on the 6th of November 2024. I recently terminated my rental with him by means of writing an email and informing him personally and i had served my 2 months notice as well but todate i was not refunded what is due to me because i can not pay rent for a full month and then on stay in the property for less than what I had paid for.

2) Upon recharging the water credit it has came to my attention that the unit owed services due to non payments. So when i was about to recharge the water it prompted me to pay arrears before i could get any water because of the outstanding balance of R1093.93. When i called the Municipality|PEC i was advised that the last water purchase was done in June 2024, which i then paid R1100 because i had ran out of water. When i informed him he told me that, he will call the municipality, when I kept reminding him he kept on saying he will give me feedback.

3)The unit at hand, had a geyser leak every-time the water was hot to a point whereby the only option was to switch the geyser in and off from the main switch-board. I reported that to him and he did not fix it nor care as to how frustrating it was for me to wake up and switch on the geyser everyday. The water spilled to a point whereby the kitchen unit got damaged. He only send through the plumbers recently because it was time for me to renew the contract and i said to him how can i renew my contract if you haven't sorted out all the issue that I had tabled out for you.

I also called the Office to lay a complain but the since went quiet, so I take it that they are protecting him. I want my refund for the non-occupation days and I want the refund for the arrears that weren't caused buy me because i can not be liable for services that weren't rendered to me because i only took occupation on the 6th of November 2024.

He must be taken to task and write an apology for undermining me and not treating me with respect as if he was doing me a favour and i was a paying client. There is no month that i had skipped paying rent nor made arrangements for rent nor paying the deposit.
