I have recently on the beginning of april 2010 given notice of my intentions to vacate the premesis a month later(months notice).
I have confirmation from the landlord that it was acceptable to leave, the reason for me leaving was that the house is for sale and was told to us by the agents that it was sold. When i went to hand in my notice the agents told me that the deal for the sale of the house had not gone through...
I ended the contract a month before the end of contract and was told that i would have to pay a penalty of R280, which would come off my deposit of R5000. This was agreed to by the landlord and there were several witnesses.
The assesor came out on monday the 10th of may to assecc the place and found nothing wrong. Which i have a copy of. The head office of wakefields then got a email from the landlord on the 17th of may, saying that they must pay the deposit into her account for the rent for the month of may...
We moved out on the beginning of may as per agreement with wakefields. I just do not understand why this has happened. The keys to the property was given back on the 3rd of may as when we went to wakefields on the 30th of may. the 1st of may was saturday and they were closed as well as sunday the 2nd.
To this date there has been no further tennants that have moved in and there never was new tennants
I have asked for help from wakefields and have been told that it has nothing to do with them and i should contact the landlord and as her for the money. I mean what did i pay the agents fee for.
I am just gettin pass the buck treatment, please please please help me.
