I gave notice to move out of my place on 21 February 2018 to say I will be moving out on 31 March 2018 . This is more than a months notice and my lease states that I can give 21 working days notice and I will be charged a cancellation fee of R2950 .
On the day of inspection , the lady who was supposed to do the inspection did not show up and gave me some excuses ,knowing very well that I had a flight to catch as I was relocating . Needless to say that the "damages" found in the apartment were exactly the amount of deposit . Her not showing up was essentially to make sure that I dont get my deposit back .
Then these people charge me 2 months additional rent for breaking my lease and added cancellation costs and costs of a garage that I never requested/used/know anything about .
They expected me to pay close R28 000 for cancelation of my lease even after I gave them notice. I cannot pay rent for a place I did not live in . I gave more than a months notice . They have now blacklisted me through a court judgement for the costs that they just inflated .
What I would like to know is that ,is it legal to blacklist a consumer for cost of something they never used ?I have never defaulted on my rent . Never . Blacklisting someone for something they have never used?It's not debt that I incurred . I gave more than a months notice .
Secondly , I was not even summoned to court or anything like that but a judgement to my name has been taken ?
I have lodged a complaint with the rental tribunal and I will be consulting with a lawyer as I don't think its legal and I think its against the CPA .
They go by The letting Corporation/Invitation Homes /Kloof Joint Venture
Day light robbers taking advantage of consumers .
