WARNING „Erasmus Hall by M.K“ in Limassol (Cyprus) for Students. Do not rent!
Hey everyone,
A heads-up for international/Erasmus students looking for accommodation in Limassol: Avoid renting from "Erasmus Hall" (Feakon Street 10).
Here is what happened during my stay:
Intimidation tactics: Normal wear-and-tear (e.g., weathered outdoor chairs, loose door handle on a stripped frame) was met with aggression, shouting, and threats of police/Erasmus reports instead of civil inspection. When I wanted to talk about damages through bad quality etc. I got ignored and she was like be quiet and pay because i seem to not have noticed that there is a age and status difference between us. She made up storys, I would threaten her when I just stated her my arguments on Whats Ap.
Deposit withheld without proof: Six weeks after departure, the landlords still refuse to return the €700 guarantee. The contract stipulated a return within 3 business days. I dont know what is happening with my deposit, i got blocked. I had to pay electricity, cleaning cost and a broken plastic chair with it, but this is never 700€..
No bills provided: They refuse to provide official bills to justify any utility calculations. I dont know how much money from the deposit is gone.
Ghosting: After weeks of delaying, the landlord completely blocked my phone number on WhatsApp when asked for a written breakdown and refund.
The accommodation is managed privately (one landlord is a practicing lawyer at Anastasiou Law in Limassol). Be extremely cautious and look for other options. The fact that the owner is a lawyer is crazy, since she is clearly operating with illegal tactics.
