96 Lynette Str - Etienne Labuschagne Remax Agent

This is a property owner, renting flats with a massive problem with security, structure and an attitude.

Please read the post on the Remax South Africa listing as well.

We rent a property from this Remax Agent and Property owner, Etienne Labuschagne. We signed an remax contract on remax letterhead and remax CI.

Around 3 weeks ago the owner locked me out of the main gate without any reason and left me in the street for over 30 minutes while it rain. Having no urgency opening the gate,

His excuse: he locked someone else out and thus don't see the need to communicate with paying tenants about gate locks that change and thus will inconvenient other tenants.

The property recently was victim of a armed ******* and on another occasion a brake in where expensive equipment were ****** from the neighbour flat. The neighbour moved due to the owner not taking any action on the security but adding a camera at his front door. The rest of the property were left as is.

Today the gate were left open again by the owner having a neglected attitude towards the safety and well-being of the paying tenants. Without any reason, the owner left the gate unlocked from 15h30 today till 18h58, enough time for any ******** to set himself up for the perfect crime or another armed ******* like before... this were not the first time, thus forcing me to warn you today. this owner keeps blaming others for the problems caused by himself. He was requested a week ago to fix a shower door that leak, still no action.. he blames ABSA. Yea, I know. Absa now build showers....

Be careful renting from this owner and from his office, Remax. This seems to be regular occurance as I'm the 3rd tenant that have to make plans to leave /Move due to a owner with a terrible attitude toward people that pay him and the uncer*****y on safety as the owner did nothing about this. He did not share this armed ******* with us as we would have not rent this property.

This owner also deffer my name in front of others and, on other occasions, share my information with 3rd parties, thus making me look bad and hide the actual problems. This thus happens in public in front of strangers and friends.

This is not a new problem but rather ongoing. Be carefully and rather support good businesses with honest and transparent business practices.
