Worst rental agency

<p>Where to begin....    the over all bad service that we received from K REAL Estate ultimately began with an incomplete contract that did not stipulate how many animals we were allowed due to this we got into the exotic animals which turned into a massive struggle a year after the owner knew about it. coupled with this we were give a 20 day notice to leave the premises due to running our own business which both the owner and estate agent knew a year prior. After informing the estate agency this is an illegal eviction notice as per our contract they are required to give us a 3 consecutive warnings over a 3 month period requesting we rectify the breach we then had to spend R10 000.00 on external lawyer fees to get the agency to make the eviction notice redundant. We also had to handle 6 months of building and maintenance whilst paying full rental despite having a verbal agreement with the owner k real Estate did nothing to support or fight for us in this period our vehicle and trailer was damaged as a direct result of the building work taken place on the premisis again without any assistance from the estate agency we now have to go to small claims court to recoupe our losses. Upon the renewal for the second year of our lease (which was 8 months after the contract was due) the estate agent in her own hand writing filled in 2 dogs after we signed the contract knowing full well that we had 3 dogs. We also had an agreement to split the renewal fees over the proceeding 3 months and falsely stipulating increased payments on the invoices, they then gave us a partial payment status on ITC and refuse to rectify once confronted about the matter. In the building period we were promised additional funds to cover the electricity usage by the owner which the estate agency made no effort to retrieve from the owner on our behalf. To Date we have only received R400 for 6 months worth of building. It appears to be a common practise with most estate agencies to be purely on the owners side with very little thought for the impact on the tenant. AnDinner lastly it took almost a full month to retrieve our deposit. This is one of the worst experiences I've had and will never recommended K REAL Estate to anyone!!!!</p>
