misrepresentation and breech of contract
2
I rented a property from Remax the lease was valid from 1 october 2011 to 31 september 2012. I gave my 2 months notice to move out at the end of september 2012. On the 16 August 2012 my agent delivered a contract for another property I wanted to rent but this contract was valid from 1 september 2012 to 31 August 2013. One month earlier than my current lease expired. That night I send my agent an sms asking whether I had to move 1 september 2012 as per new contract or 31 september 2012 as per old contract. she answered that I should move end of August as the house I was staying in was sold and had to be handed over. I did as she said. One day before I was to move, she arrived at my house teeling me that the house I was to move into was no longer available. I asked her if I should seek accommodation at another agency as remax had no other houses available. She advised me to go ahead which I did. She came to do the end inspection on 3 september 2012 and found everything in order and asked my banking details to pay out my R 7000 deposit. On Monday 10 September 2012 she sent me email stating that I was in breech of contract and the took my deposit for rent for september 2012. They are in breech not me and I have all the sms conversations printed out and the lease which she delivered plus the inspection document. How can I proceed so that they can as they should refund my deposit?? They have utter poor service and no regard for their clients.
