You should stay away from this company (you might also find it under the name: Frema Tabacco). It's situated in Limassol near the round-about that connects Makario with Griva Digeni.

What this company does: it rents flats and then when you want to leave they get every penny from you, even if they have no reason to do that. From me they stole 400 pounds and I don't think I'm the only one they did this to.

So... be smart.

What's the full story?

Every Cypriot is trying to rip everyone off one way or another

[raymanuva]

Cypriots never give deposits back, it has been discussed before... u never pay last month of rent.

We were new here last year, so we didn't know what to do. So, we found this company through an agent, he first showed us to damn disastrous apartments (tactics) then he showed us this one. We said ok, the landlord, which is also the company owner I think - a lady, said she only gives us the apartment on her contract. And on the contract was specified that we pay 2 months deposit. So we did.

A few months ago, the walls started falling (I mean the paint, but of course this is not our fault). When we said we will leave the apartment si started screaming at us that we distroyed her apartment and now we leave. WTF I said... we kept it clean, the paint on the walls was not our fault.

S, 2 month before the end of the contract I said: we ain't gonna pay these two months. She said she will give us all deposit back, she will not mix the rent with the deposit, that is NO.

So we agree, she talked very nice, of course (the screaming was after this, when we left).
She came with some people when we left and changed the lock on the door, looked on the inventory and she said she will give us the money as soon as possible.

Next day she dissapeared. After 12 days, she got back, she said: for washing, cleaning, cleaning the sofa, the windows, cleaning matterials 160 pounds. And 150 pounds RENT for these TWO weeks AFTER we left, because she said she wasn't able to rent it like that (when we left we cleaned everything twice for two days, it was already VERY clean. (we don't live like pigs.. I can even show you pictures from the apartment).

So, when I asked what is this f.. k-ing rent because we didn't stay there, she told me to take the money before she changes her mind. What could I do? I don't want to sue her or anything.. I don't have the time for this. So I took the money and left. (I haven't paid last bill on water, and sewerage for half year + municipality fees.. ).

Then a few days later she calls me and tells me she will take legal measures if we don't pay another 160 pounds. We didn't. Tomorrow is the day she said she will take legal measure (I don't know what this means) and she will also go to immigration.

I don't think she will do anything.. I don't really care, but it's better for other people to know and not to get in this s**t like we did.

Oh well.. this is the story so far.

What are municipality fees?

That sucks though. But Cypriots I think are like this
I think you gotta be just like them otherwise you get walked over

[IcyNoAngel]

Exactly my point (now I mean). I played nice, they did this. I will do what they do for now on.
I don't know what municipality fees are, she can ask for money for whatever she wants, I ain't gonna give her nothing more.
Enough is enough.

No Municipal fees are payable by you... you only pay for a garbage and communal bills.
