Daylight Robbery

Expect to lose a quite bit of money to this rental agency and by “lose” I mean you literally give them money and get nothing of value in return.

#1. Admin fees: Admin fees have become standard practice, but with this agent, expect to fork out almost R2000 in admin fees for you new contract.

2. Daylight Robbery(I’m not sure what else to call it): This agent forces tenants to vacate the premises and return the key halfway through December(student or working professional), BUT you STILL PAY A FULL MONTH’S RENT for December. Meaning that if your rent is R5000p/m, you will lose around R2500 of rent you paid but you were forced to move out halfway through the month. And should you wish to stay throughout December(which you have paid for), you must either…. A - renew your contract for the following year(which will cost you another admin fee around R2000) or B - Pay a penalty fee of almost R500 for late return of keys.

There is a big difference between spending a lot of money and straight up losing a lot of money.
