Unethical dishonest and refused to pay my deposit

These people will use any opportunity to rip you off of your deposit. On the 7th December 2017 I gave notice that I'd be leaving end of the month and that I had a deposit of R4k which was due, I had been staying at the property for over 3 years, they said fine and gave me a list of things i should ensure are done and at the house before i leave, I complied and left the property in mint condition even hired 5 people to scrub and clean.

I left the flat and gave the keys to the neighbour and when i enquired about my deposit on the 7th January they told me because I gave notice 7 days late in December that I would forfeit my deposit and would be liable for paying rent for January as well. They also told me that the house was left in a mess which was absolute nonsense because I hired 5 people who could bear witness to cleaning the house.

After days of back and forth emails I told them I'd lay a complaint on hellopeter. The people I dealt with were Erica Myburgh and Selma Nasser.

A few days later Selma called me to tell me she'd like to meet face to face to discuss the misunderstandings. I did not respond. Unethical is unethical, they can keep the money. At least now more people will know that they will smile to your face but steal from you in broad daylight.
