********* practices and negligence – Do not rent from Targer Properties

My two-year tenancy at Sunbird Estate (Unit 205) managed by Targer Properties has been the worst rental experience of my life. If you are considering using this agency, be warned that your deposit is at risk and maintenance requests will be ignored.

My major grievances include:

Negligence: I was left without a functioning geyser for nearly two months. The agency dragged their feet, arguing with the owner and body corporate instead of resolving the emergency.

Dishonest Billing: After my lease ended, I was suddenly billed an extra R2500 for "areas" that were never in my lease agreement, nor was I ever notified of these charges previously.

Poor Communication: The office is impossible to reach. They actively hid communications regarding maintenance and misrepresented inspection reports to justify billing me for damages that were not my fault.

Unprofessional Conduct: Dealing with the agent, Meryl Coetzer , was particularly difficult. She is deceptive, consistently fails to answer her phone, and does not respond to urgent communications.

They will manipulate statements to keep your money. Save yourself the stress and financial loss—avoid Targer Properties.
