    Rental agency wants to charge for lease renewal (R750) and inspection fee (R400). Is this reasonable?

    They did do an ingoing inspection in 2021, but this is the first time they've done a renewal inspection

    Rental agency wants to charge for lease renewal (R750) and inspection fee (R400). Is this reasonable?

    Well they aren't exactly budging. They referred to last year's tenant renewal form. This is like an application from that I have to fill in each year before receiving the lease agreement. The renewal application mentions a R400 renewal inspection fee. This wasn't charged last year since no...

    Rental agency wants to charge for lease renewal (R750) and inspection fee (R400). Is this reasonable?

    This thread just reminds me how murky lease contracts get. Aside from the fees, this agency has always had a lot of dodgy clauses around lease cancellations that definitely don't seem to align with the CPA, which this discussion has reminded me of. For example, saying I am liable for rent until...

    Hey everyone, based in CT to probably the epicenter for predatory rental practices. I am renewing the lease on my apartment for the 4th time and am being hit with a R750 lease renewal fee plus R400 inspection fee and a R4.4k deposit top up. On top of this, I already pay a "tenant service fee" of...

    Anybody signed up with Tymebank?

    Would be a bit of a pain to change numbers but if someone knowing my ID and phone number leaves me significantly at risk then I guess it may need to be done.

    Anybody signed up with Tymebank?

    Hey everyone, part time TymeBank user here. A few weeks back I was nearly scammed by someone pretending to be from the TymeBank fraud department. Unfortunately he weaseled my full ID number out of me. By using that plus my phone number I think he was trying to reset my login pin, but I finally...

    RSAWeb down in my area

    Yes my fibre has been working, at least since I changed the DNS settings, though on Twitter some users still seem to be having a red light on their router even now. I guess as long as this isn't a death knell for the company and doesn't keep happening every few weeks then I'll be fine.

    RSAWeb down in my area

    So what's the outlook for a regular home fibre user with RSAWEB now? I switched to them from Afrihost literally a month and a bit ago (because of price not dissatisfaction with Afrihost), as it was going to save me almost R200 a month.

    Also could explain why the official status updates from RSAWEB about what the problem is have been so vague

    RSAWeb down in my area

    As of 10 pm tonight wifi and ethernet were still not connecting on my laptop and PC, until I manually configured the DNS. I used the cloudfare one (1.1.1.1). Still not a great situation when so many users aren't likely to be aware or able to change these settings. Anyway, would the more...
