My wife and I recently moved down to Amanzimtoti. We got a place to rent and signed a three month lease with agent X. In the time we were staying here, I had an argument with an agent Y that has the property on the market about her wanting a key for the apartment to show people who might be interested in buying. I was uncomfortable with this but I agreed to give her a key with the understanding that she lets me know at least the day before when people will come to view. I caught her in the apartment with people to view one day without my concent. I was very upset and demanded the key...she just ignored me. Now that my lease has expired, I wanted to renew it and found out that the owner does not want to renew. I managed to get hold of the owners number from another agent. I called him and asked if there was any specific reason for him not wanting to renew the lease and he replied that they were thinking of using the apratment again seeing as it is at a holiday destination. However, browsing the internet in search of a place to stay, I come across the place we are currently renting on the market to rent......by agent Y that I had the argument with.... So, obviously the owner does not want to use the apartment, agent Y probably told him that I am very difficult with viewing etc etc and now he believes her.... So, I am desperate to know if there is anything I can do??? I have been paying my rent on time every month and I am really taking care of the place... It is HUGE trouble for me to move now just to make room for a new tenant whilst I would like to extent the renting contract I hope you understand my predicament and could give me some advice....
