BE WARNED!!!
Will not refund deposit. It’s been 2 months. They deducted R3000 from deposit to fumigate 1 bedroom. Front door to accommodation does not lock. Security cameras do not work - multiple break ins during my time there. Bhavna & Amrish Bissoon own the property but claim they are just “property managers”. Be VERY careful if you are desperate rather look elsewhere. You will throw away thousands of rands in rent for poorly maintained property not able to accommodate the amount of people staying there.

******** deposit deductions — DO NOT rent with My Living Space
I rented Room 8 at Weymouth Residence (1 Weymouth Road, Observatory) from February 2025 to January 2026. Upon vacating, My Living Space presented a Report & Statement proposing deductions of R12,500 against my R11,700 deposit — meaning they claimed I owed them R800. The deductions included: R7,500 for repainting (after a 12-month tenancy — this is fair wear and tear, not tenant damage) R3,000 for fumigation (my lease clause 4.4 caps this at R2,000 — they exceeded their own contract) R2,000 for cleaning (no receipts or evidence provided) A joint outgoing inspection was conducted on 30 January 2026 with the property manager. The inspection notes described walls as "stained" and floors as "dirty" — normal wear after a year of occupancy. No severe damage, holes, or excessive soiling was noted. I formally disputed all deductions except the agreed R2,000 fumigation amount and requested a refund of R9,700 plus interest, as required under the Rental Housing Act 50 of 1999. They have not comp****. This appears to be a pattern — other tenants have reported the same tactics: inflated charges, no receipts, and poor communication through a single contact who becomes unresponsive once you raise concerns. I am escalating to the Western Cape Rental Housing Tribunal. Prospective tenants: read your lease carefully, document everything from day one, and be aware of your rights under the Rental Housing Act before signing.

DO NOT SIGN A LEASE WITH MY LIVING SPACE IN CAPE TOWN
I recently signed a leased agreement for a furnished room with My Living Space which is a real estate agent in Cape Town. The rental was R7500 and the deposit was the same amount. The lease agreement stated that I needed to pay an amount of R2000 if I do not fumigate the property before I leave. Upon staying at the room i was renting, the bed provided was subpar and the wardrobe was so small that it didn’t even have shelves. So I queried about these issues and was told that I can get my own bed if I want to. Also there was only one normal fridge with a single door for the freezer and normal part of the fridge and two bar fridges for sharing between 10 tenants. So I decided to terminate my lease. 72 hours had not yet passed when I did this and I went through a process of finding a replacement tenant so that I can get my deposit back. Now I found a tenant and they started renting the place. The agent now tells me that I have to pay R1500 for the fact that I did not advertise the room when the tenant they have came through me. Also I have to pay R2000 for fumigating despite not staying over 72 hours in the property. I am due to get no refunds for the rental amount and my deposit refund is now R4000. This is *****ed at its finest. The correspondence from the company is also very poor. There is no phone number you can call and you can only talk to them through a lady called Bhavna. She often was not responding to my texts as soon as I wanted to terminate my lease.
