Hi Everyone...
I have been living in Mauritius for almost 3 years now and have had a very bad experience with most of the accommodation I have rented. This article serves to bring awareness to the issues I have experienced and possibly bring people who have experienced similar circumstances together and then maybe we can make a difference.
Let it be known that I rent 'middle income' property in good areas from what seem like decent people, initially, and then they turn into devious greedy monsters when things need to be repaired and the rental deposit needs to be refunded.
The agencies I have used are very eager to take their commission but never help when there are problems to be sorted out. I dont see the point of paying comission if they are not going to protect you 'the leesee' when necessary.
It seems there is no where to turn and no one who can help. Even the contract isn't worth the paper it is written on if poor people like me don't have the money or time to take small disputes to court.
I feel lost and alone and unsupported by the system with regards to this issue. Im certain I am not the only one. Lets get together with our stories and our breeched contracts and try to put an end to this fiasco!!!
