I rented a unit through iGrow and moved out at the end of March 2026. When I moved in, iGrow instructed me to pay a utility deposit directly to Voltano for water and electricity. I completed Voltano’s application, paid the deposit, and submitted proof of payment. iGrow was copied on all the correspondence. When I moved out and requested my deposit back, Voltano informed me that they refund deposits to the property owner, not the tenant. I contacted iGrow to get the owner’s details so I could follow up, since I don’t have direct contact with the owner. After multiple emails, iGrow distanced themselves from resolving the issue. Voltano has emailed the owner confirming payment was made and that the deposit should be refunded to me, as I provided proof. The owner has not responded to me. I cannot contact the owner directly as they were blind-copied due to POPIA. I forwarded all correspondence to iGrow and asked them to either facilitate the refund or provide the owner’s contact details. I have not received a response. When I call, the agent dealing with the account says she is busy and will call back, but no follow-up happens once they know it’s me. iGrow managed the property and arranged the Voltano setup, so I believe they have a responsibility to ensure the deposit is returned or to connect me with the owner. At this point, I have been ignored and have no way to recover my money. I would like iGrow to intervene with the owner to pay my money or provide me with the correct contact details so this can be resolved.

Before I could complete my application, Luvuyo called me, and he has been incredibly helpful in answering all of my questions and helping me.
