I was looking for a flat to rent in Gezina. I found a two bedroom flat at Die Balkony. We viewed the flat and they told me to submit my application immediately before anyone takes it. They sent us the application form along with the contract for us to sign and submit back to them. My mother did this as she was the one who was going to fill the application in for us. I called them to check if they had received the application. I spoke to Lorraine Dikgole, the leasing agent who was helping us and she informed me that she did receive it and also checked the ITC, everything was fine. She was waiting for approval. A day later I called them to check if they had approved our application and they told me they did not, the reason being that the friend I'm going to stay with is unemployed and they are scared that she will bring her friends and throw parties at their premises. As well as she won't be able to pay rent. They told me they are waiting for a second applicant so they could compare the two applications. My mother called them as well to check if they had approved the application. I called them on the 26th Feb 2013 and they told me they could not approve our application.
