Exposing ****ming property agencies.

Good day, my name is Venus I had a lease with anaprop for 6 months then afterwards I was on a month to month with them for another 5 months after my lease expired, from December I had been been writing them emails requesting an exit inspection as I had heard from other tenants who are taking them to court and even their staff members that they do not pay deposits back lest you Atleast have an exit inspection with you. After months of waiting I decided to contact someone from their finance to ask as to why and how much longer would I have to wait before I can move out with an exit inspection, the person in their finance opened up their laptop, showed me a loooong list of tenants who had vacated months ago but still hadn’t received their deposit, I was then advised by the same person to stay there and on the month I decided to move out to not pay that rent. That’s exactly what I did then found myself blacklisted with an inaccurate amount which I ended up paying either ways. My rent was R10,700 but I was paying R12,000 every month, in February 2024 I paid R37,000 all in one month to settle a month I had not paid due to an emergency I had, paid the money I wasn’t supposed to pay as it was supposed to be taken from the deposit then paid the current rent of that time(Feb) which left me upto date in payments. I then requested an exit inspection again almost daily which I never got till we almost mid March, I then decided to just move out. I paid half of my rent R6000 and an additional R1000 for legal fees they had billed me because they had summoned me to court but cancelled the case after I settled all the balance in February. I moved out of the apartment on 14th March 2024 and went again to collect some of my things 15th March 2024 and never went back as I was away. Beginning of April I go there to collect the left over materials and to request for my deposit, they have not payed me my deposit back and on top have messed up my credit score and reputation and have now falsely charged me legal fees I never knew off and that were not billed on my invoices. I’d like to get assistance on clearing my credit score and also possibly getting back my deposit, as I’m now left stranded, unable to get a lease because of their selfishness of not wanting to pay back deposits.
