Western Cape Rental Housing Tribunal Poor Services

Good Day

I'm writing this review regarding poor client service from the Western Cape Rental Housing Tribunal

It has been almost a week since I have filed my complaint due to my Landlord that wants to evict me off the property Illegal/Unlawfully

I have provided all necessary as requested over and over but no response from anyone at their offices. I have even been at their offices in Cape Town whereas I have spoken to one of their consultants who has given me advice with this whole scenario

My Landlord has not given me formal notice with a valid notice period and wants to evict me from the property with the help of the police force. He is doing this unlawfully/illegal not giving me enough time to look for a vacant place. I dually understand that he wants to use the property as rebate in order to regain the funds that he has lost on the property but not giving me also not enough time for a vacant space to apply for and live at

As explained in the documents/complaint that I have filed with the Rental Housing Tribunal I recently got retrenched from my work and my funds got depleted up until last month/year December 2020 I have been fully committed to pay every month the rental monies in full whereas I couldn't complete the full commitment for this month (January 2021)

The owner has threaten me to withhold the keys of the property and has called on Police Services in order for me to vacate the property by end of this month 30 January 2021 where I have no family members or friends to go live at during my unemployment period

All I want the owner to do is to give me a reasonable period in order to look for another place understanding that he doesn't want me on the premises due to non payment of rental for this month (January 2021) and wants some renovating to do on the property

I have explained everything on documented evidence but no one seems to assist me in this matter even if I'm bound to be homeless month end no one seems to be bothered at Western Cape Rental Housing Tribunal to speak to the Landlord and be in contact with him and me

Hope this email gets the attention of many more complaints that gets unresolved
