Rental deposit complaint.

Good day,

I need assistance with my rent deposit. I started staying at the complex in July 2024 and since I started staying here I never received my lease. I requested a copy of my lease at the beginning of the year in 2025 and it still it was never sent to me. Again I requested a copy in August 2025, still no one responded to my emails. At that point I was requesting 2 lease agreements because I had renewed my lease for 2025. I recently got an offer in Johannesburg on the 1st September which requires me to relocate. I sent another lady a text on whatsapp enquiring which steps should I take if I want to serve a notice to terminate my lease. I did that enquiry because I did not have my leases and I have been requesting them with no responses. I served my notice and only then the 2025 lease was sent and was told by Ruth that the notice period is 2 months. I then told her that but I have been requesting my lease so you can’t tell me now that the notice period is 2 months. I attached previous emails where I was requesting my leases she did not provide any explanations as to why my leases were not sent to me, she just stood her ground telling me that I will be liable for October and November’s rent. This is such a **** and I want my deposit because if my leases were sent to me when I requested them, I wouldn’t be in this position. Can anyone assist me please. Thanks.
