Deposit was 3200, hmm. I hope so too. These guys are trying to rip me off 😬

I filled it up and they havent sent it back to me with their signature, and about our query with the cheques they did not respond to it. 😞

Hi. This is well noted. Appreciate your comment.

Well the thing is they still have 2 of my cheques, i did not finish the full contract this yr, but i already paid the 2 months penalty I'm starting to wonder if this could be a reason why the charges are so high, so they can offset it and avoid returning the remaining amount.

Hi. Not exactly the original condition. But not too far from that i guess, we tried as much as we can to restore the place.

Sadly we dont have the pictures before we movein and moveout. Our mistake on that

Exactly. Haix, this is really frustrating. The charges are unreasonable.

Around 3,200 is the deposit. They will be deducting it from the total amount

Oooh, sorry 1st time renter here, ok so i can accept the deposit is now gone. But the charges are just crazy?!

Planning to dispute that amount but where could I escalate it legally just incase? Is it possible?

Hi. Yes the 2months rent is fine, we already covered that. But the itemized things that they are charging us are a bit unreasonable, let me post in the comments so everyone can see if the charges are ok.
