***** Practices

Having rented an apartment in Menlopark in Pretoria from Realty 1 who took over the rental management hall way through our rental contract I would like to share our experience on moving out. The cleaners could not get some marks off walls so we were charged for the re-painting of the entire wall section. The rental agent denied that the tenant verbally reported the bathroom extraction fan to her, so got charged for repainting the bathroom too because of mould stain. apparently no written complaint was lodged of the fan. The owner agreed to pay a very small portion of the cost to treat the rust in the bathroom. Please be weary of using these agents and if you have to make sure you have a very detailed and well documented move in inspection.
