BUSINESS CONDUCT FROM JOHNLEE PROPERTIES

<div>Good day I would like to report Johnlee Properties. I rented a flat with my elder brother in June 2022 with a 1 year contract renewable and we paid a 2 months deposit. The flay was sold and we moved out at the end of June 2024 and till now, the deposit has not been repaid. The new owner has informed me that she wanted to renovate her flat, increase the rent and handle the letting business herself. That's why the contract wasn't renewed. However, the letting agency namely Johnlee property is exaggerating damages to the house and charging us a whopping R6500 for a so called damage control. We have received a quote with exaggerated call out fees, labour fees, walls &amp; ceiling repaint whereas the flat was never renovated for the 2 years we spent there and the so called damage is normal wear and tear. Plus, the new owner has taken control of her flat and she isn't dealing with them at all. Clearly, we are being taken advantage of because we are defenseless people with no legal representation This is outrageous that someone was asked to move out yet still can get their deposit back and even has to pay a huge amount for things like 2 small nails and 4 plastic hooks. Howrver, throughout the lease, we never owe them a cent.</div>
