I paid my rental two days late (3 May instead of 1 May) and they simply added a R575 penalty to my account. When I enquired about it, they told me it is according to their "standard policy", but according to the lease agreement, interest on late payments will accrue interest at a rate of 2% per month. That equates to about R 11.33 When I demanded to see a signed copy of their so called "standard policy", they just stopped responding and have been ignoring all my e-mails since. I recommend that everybody steer clear of using the services of Casadobe Properties as they use ********* business practices.
I recently made online purchases in Rand and Standard Bank still went ahead and charged 2.75% "international fee" even though there was no forex conversion. The payment was made in ZAR! The other banks don't charge FX fees if payment was done in ZAR. What makes Standard Bank so special that they are entitled to rob people?
