MOVING IN
            REGISTER FOR ACCESS
            After you have signed your lease agreement and
            paid all necessary fees, we can register you on our
            access control system. Our customer service agents
            need the following to register you on the system:
            - A completed access control application form
            - Your keyslip
            - Copies of ID/Passport documents of all the
              occupants

            MOVING TIME
            You can occupy the apartment after 14:00 on the
            day your lease starts or the date on your keyslip.

            INSPECTION
            The building manager will arrange an inspection
            within seven days after you have moved in. This is
            to ensure everything in the apartment is working
            properly. A tenant defect list, which gives details of
            any problems needing attention in the apartment,
            must be completed during this inspection. If you
            are not available for the inspection, the unit will be
            classified as in order and any damage or faults
            found the day you move out will be charged to
            your account.

            Sectional title tenants must complete the tenant
            defect list and give it to the property manager or
            our customer service department within seven days
            of occupation.

            REPORTING A PROBLEM
            If there are any problems in your apartment after
            the initial inspection, there are a couple of ways to
            report the problem:
            - Contact our customer service line on 012 357 1515
            - You can also reach out to us on our WhatsApp
               number on 082 890 0454
            Leasa, our automated system will be your first
            point of contact when you reach out to us. You’ll
            get to interact with her through email and our
            website, so feel free to reach out to her.

                                                                     4

interest. If you choose to pay your rent by debit

that you stay in control. Remember that you have
to give us permission to change your limit when
the rent changes.

OTHER PAYMENT METHODS

Toit Street, Pretoria. We accept cash and card
payments. Always remember to bring your
statement when you come to pay.

CITYLIVINGResidential Information Guide - City Property
Card payments
We accept the following cards at our offices in Tshwane, Johannesburg, The Fields and
Kempton Place:
• Maestro and Visa Electron debit cards
• Master and Visa cheque cards
• Master and Visa credit cards

Nedbank
You can pay your rent by making a direct deposit at any Nedbank branch. Please use the
bottom tear-off slip of your statement, fill in the date and the amount that you want to pay,
sign it and give it to the tellers at the bank. The tellers must use the 7-digit reference
number that is on the tear-off slip.

Helpful tip: When paying at a Nedbank ATM, please remember to use the full client reference
number (including the dash (-)) on your statement.

EasyPay
Pay your rent at any shop that provides EasyPay services, for example, Pick n Pay, Shoprite,
Checkers, etc. It is very important to take your statement with you when making a payment
through EasyPay, so that the cashier can scan your EasyPay number.

Internet payments
Internet payments can be made through your bank’s website (contact your bank for more
information), or through the EasyPay website, visit www.easypay.co.za for more
information. Make sure that your City Property client reference number (tenant code) is
always used in the reference field. Remember that internet payments take 24 to 48 hours
to show on your statement. Pay on time to avoid paying interest.

We do not accept cash at any of our apartment buildings or use third parties to
collect rent. The payment methods shown here are the only valid way to pay.

RENT INCREASES
Rent increases are set out in the lease agreement. In general increases are yearly, with the
first increase 12 months after the starting date of your lease. You will receive a letter
informing you of the increase, two months before the increase.

                                                                                                8

HOUSE RULES
Ask your building manager for a copy of the House Rules so you can familiarise yourself
with the contents thereof. It is a great guide that covers all relevant sections.

If you have any questions, chat to your building or property manager.

you buy vouchers, you have to give the unique meter number that is on the meter and
specify the amount in rand that you want to buy electricity for. You will then be given a
voucher. You must type the unique 20-digit number that is on the voucher into the prepaid
meter and the number of available electricity units will show on the screen of the prepaid
meter.

ELECTRICITY USE
How often you need to buy vouchers depends on how much electricity you use. The light
on the right-hand side of the meter screen flashes while you are using electricity. A slow
flashing light means you are using little electricity, while a fast flashing light means you are
using a lot. Make sure to recharge once the meter displays a balance of 10 units.

Appliances left on standby use electricity. Save electricity by switching off appliances at the
wall socket when not in use.

A technician tests all meters after they have been installed. If your meter is not working or
if the meter does not accept your voucher number, report it to the building manager or
contact our customer service department. Do not try to open the meter yourself. If your
meter is fitted with seals, do not remove or tamper with the seals.

• Tell the building manager or the property manager
• Phone our customer service line on 012 357 1515, or 082 605 0555 after hours
  After hours support: Monday - Friday 17:00 - 20:00, Saturday 08:00 - 20:00, Sunday 08:00 - 12:00

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is my electricity usage so high even if I am not always in the unit?
Electricity will still be consumed by items such as fridges, geysers and lights left on, as well
as items in stand-by mode.
What happens to my remaining prepaid electricity units on my meter when
I move out?
The remaining pre-paid units can only be transferred when moving to another unit within
the same building. If you move to another property, you will lose the units on your meter.
Why can I not load my prepaid voucher?
The meter might be in tamper mode. Check the display on the meter’s display panel. The
electricity might have been purchased against an incorrect meter number. In the event of this
happening, contact our customer service line on 012 357 1515, or 082 605 0555 (after hours).
Do I get the same amount of units at all the outlets?
Yes. The cost of electricity is regulated and all City Property tenants pay the same rate.
How often do I need to load a voucher?
This depends on your usage. Keep an eye on the number of units remaining and buy a
voucher when there are only a few units left.
Is prepaid electricity cheaper than conventional electricity?
No, but it makes you more aware of how you use electricity. This in turn helps in saving
electricity by switching off lights and non-essential appliances.
                                                                                                     11
Why does electricity cost more when I buy it from City Property than when
I buy directly from the local municipality?
The municipality has two tariffs:
- Electricity at a tariff for landlords
- A tariff by which the landlord can recover certain costs from its tenants.

City Property’s tariff is higher because the municipality only takes responsibility for the supply
of the electricity to the transformer and not to the apartments. The landlord is responsible
for the meters and the electrical network of the building. Therefore the municipality allows
the landlord to charge a different tariff in order for the landlord to keep the electricity
infrastructure maintained.

CITY LIVING GUIDELINES
You must keep your apartment in a good condition
otherwise you will be held responsible for any
damages in the unit. Please allow the building
managers to make appointments with you so
that they can do inspections when necessary.

After such an inspection you will receive feedback
on the condition of your apartment. If there is a
defect, you will be notified and asked to fix the
defect. Please report any defect to your building
manager as soon as you become aware of it. If
this is not done timeously, we will send out a
contractor to do the repairs. If you have to pay
for it, it will be charged to your account accordingly.

Below are some general guidelines for your
information.

  windows (including bathrooms). No sheets or

• The fire-fighting equipment is installed in the buildings to fight fire emergencies
 only, and it is against the law to abuse firefighting equipment. You could be
 fined.

Mould
Mould are small organisms that thrive on moisture and live almost anywhere.
Inhaling it can inflame the airways, causing nasal congestion, coughing and
throat irritation and prolonged exposure can cause chronic health problems.

Help us to prevent it:

Moisture control is the key to mould control
• Open windows and ensure fresh air flows through your apartment
• Report plumbing leaks so it can be repaired quickly
• Don’t leave damp clothes indoors, use the washing lines available
• Check windows and walls for condensation (droplets or “tears”)
                                                                                        14
You can clean it by scrubbing the affected area with soapy water.

You can also make your own cleaning solution:
• 1 cup bleach mixed with 3.8 litres of water pure distilled vinegar
• 1 teaspoon of tea tree oil and 1 cup of water
• Equal parts baking soda and water, mixed into a paste in a bowl
• 1 cup of borax dissolved in 3.8 litres of water
• For a natural cleanser use the juice of a lemon

Method:
• Apply the cleaner and let it soak for about 15 minutes
• Scrub the surface after soaking with a brush or scrubbing pad (Scotch)
• Rinse and dry the area after mould has been scrubbed off

FIRE SAFETY TIPS
Cooking equipment
• While cooking, especially if you’re using oil or high temperatures, remain
  close by
• Keep things that can easily catch fire and burn, away from heat sources

Heating equipment
• Keep portable heaters at least one metre away from anything that can burn,
  and do not use your heaters to dry shoes or clothes

Smoking
• Don’t forget to extinguish your cigarette and don’t throw cigarette butts out
  of windows
• Use the designated smoking areas (where available)

Electrical equipment; ensure that:
• Your electrical appliances do not have loose or frayed cords or plugs
• Your outlets and extension cords are not overloaded
• You are not running electrical wires under rugs or heavy furniture
• If you notice any faulty wiring or experience problems with electrical
  appliances, please contact your building manager

In case of an emergency
• Plan your exit strategy ahead of an emergency
• Ensure you know where the closest emergency exits and fire extinguishers
  are. Follow the exit signage

Lift safety
• If you get stuck in a lift, phone the building
   manager or the lift company. The lift company’s
   number is displayed inside the lift
• You can also press the alarm button in the lift
• Ensure that all passengers move towards the back
   of the lift. This will reduce any chance of injury
   to the passengers
• Passengers must not try to rescue themselves or
  others by forcing open the doors. This can lead to
   serious injury or death
• Stay calm and wait for the professionals to solve
   the problem

Pest control
Regular pest control is carried out by the landlord.
We request you to assist in keeping your apartment
clean and pest free.

The most effective way to control cockroaches is to
ensure they do not have food and water:
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Wash your dishes
• Keep refuse in sealed bins
• Take care with soiled nappies or dirty clothing

Cockroaches are very tough and although DIY products
can deal with the immediate problem, treatment by
a qualified pest control technician is often necessary
to ensure you get rid of pests. You must vacuum the
fumigated area thoroughly 12 hours after fumigation
has been done – also clean the vacuum cleaner
thoroughly.

DEPOSIT REFUND
The final inspection report will be submitted to our head office within five working days to
be processed. We will check if there are any outstanding invoices for work done by contractors.
The invoices can only be finalised once the work has been completed and checked by one
of our technical inspectors. This process takes about two weeks. Final meter readings are
taken for the apartment and once all the amounts that you have to pay show on your
account, the refund can be paid.
