M&T Development
Based on recent customer reviews, M&T Development receives overwhelmingly negative feedback across multiple residential estates. Tenants consistently report unresolved maintenance issues, poor communication, and a lack of accountability from management. Recurring complaints include prolonged electricity outages with incorrect billing, withheld deposits without itemized breakdowns, and inadequate security infrastructure. Residents also highlight unfair charges for pre-existing defects, misleading advertising around amenities like solar backup and clubhouses, and excessively high utility costs through third-party provider Fungi Utilities. Construction quality concerns, including roof leaks and mold, further erode tenant confidence.

From day 1 of moving in the unit which was said to be a new unit at Galoway estate, Irene. Yooh what a disaster. Reported issues but not attended to 👎 bad communication nor follow up, on maintenance issues, element of ************** picked up and untruthfullness."new unit" with lots of maintenance issues, others being urgent but not treated as such.Can you imagine geyser not working for 5 days and told that electrician not on site and will come after 3/4 days. Shame man...This is the worst experience from MT Residences. Please Stay away from them if you need peace of mind . Shuuu I have never seen such treatment, as if you are staying for free.

I've stayed here for 3 years, in 2024 I had 2 break-ins while I was sleeping inside my apartment. No one from the property came to inspect or to assist with anything, I was instructed to inform the police and to close all my windows and doors. The one bedroom units have poor ventilation and when I reported mold in my bathroom, I was told I'd be charged for re-painting. In 2023, my car window was broken during grass cutting and when the property was re-painting outside the apartments in October 2025, they spilled paint on my car and they refused to take accountability. In November I moved to a different unit and I had the most horrible experience. My pre exit-inspection of my old unit went well but just after I moved into my new unit, during the final inspection, there was suddenly an oil stain in my old parking space and I was told I'd be charged R3000, despite my car being new and have never had any oil spilling problems. More than half off my deposit was held without any explanation. I requested an invoice for the charges and to date I haven't received any communication. There are no functional security cameras within the complex, tenants are expected to find ways to guard their parking spaces when they are not home. We are also expected to repaint the units as if no one has lived in it when we move out. I was also informed that according to the lease, wear and tear is not different from intentional damage. This was literally demonstrated to me on record by Adrian the caretaker who was inspecting my unit and whom made my whole experience a nightmare.

I am renting at Eco Park East owned and managed by M&T. They just switch off electricity in the tenanted units without engaging the tenants. No letter of demand, no communication whatsoever. This is some kind of bullying and disrespecting their tenants.

In my experience, I strongly advise people to stay away from this property developer. During my tenancy, multiple basic issues were never resolved, including ongoing electricity and water supply problems. Most seriously, I was left without a properly functioning toilet for over six months, despite repeated written requests. This created unhygienic living conditions that had a direct impact on my household and caused significant stress and health concerns for my fiancée. I was also denied full access to the unit for the duration of my lease due to missing keys that were never provided. These issues were raised repeatedly and acknowledged, yet remained unresolved. After vacating the property, my deposit was withheld without any itemised breakdown or invoice within the legally required timeframe. I am currently pursuing this matter through formal legal channels. This is my personal experience, and I’m sharing it so that others can make an informed decision before renting here. I would not recommend this developer to anyone who expects basic maintenance, accountability, or tenant care.

Subject: Urgent & Long-Standing Power Outages – Golden Fields Estate, Peach Orchard, Apricot Lane, Cherry Blossom, Lemon Tree, Apple Blossom (M-T Development) There is currently no electricity supply at Golden Fields Estate, which falls under M-T Development. This is not a new issue—it has been ongoing since 2018, with repeated outages lasting days and in many cases extending into weeks. Despite these prolonged outages, residents continue to receive electricity balance and billing messages, which is incorrect. There can be no electricity consumption during periods when there is no power supply, and any charges or deductions during these outages are invalid. This matter requires urgent escalation due to: The frequency and duration of outages The long-term failure to resolve the issue since 2018 The financial impact on residents through incorrect billing The serious inconvenience and disruption caused to daily living We request: Immediate escalation and restoration of power A permanent technical solution to prevent recurring outages Suspension and correction of all billing during outage periods Written confirmation of actions taken and a resolution timeline This ongoing situation is unacceptable and requires immediate intervention. Re: Your call Ref 420 of 12/18/2025 for a power failure at SS PEACH ORCHARD 1008 SANDKIAAT STREET has been allocated to an artisan.

I am extremely disappointed with the way my maintenance issue has been handled. I moved into the property three months ago, and now I’m being charged for repairing sliding door wheels that clearly did not get damaged during my stay. There’s no way those wheels could wear out in such a short time, and they aren’t visible during a standard inspection, so it’s unfair to assume they were in perfect condition when I moved in. If they were replaced before, then the quality of the work or materials used is questionable. It feels like the maintenance model used here expects tenants to cover pre-existing issues out of their own pockets, just to save on costs. Every month, there’s a new hidden expense or an unexpected charge I need to fix and budget for, as this involves external service providers coming and repairing on my account. Overall, I’m not happy with my experience at this property and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a fair and transparent rental.
