Termination of tenancy due to hidden fault of the premises
Hi, I only recently rented a small 1 BR in Mirdiff Ghoroob gated community. However, it has been brought to my attention a constant presence of unbearable sewage smell at night time which disturbs my sleep almost every night. I spoke to the property and maintenance office and only realised that the stench is not caused inside the community but by the closeness of the sewage plant treatment.
I am afraid I cannot get used to living in such an environment especially since I suffer from respiratory allergies. I already filed a complaint to the municipality but nobody came to resolve it. I feel I am stuck and doomed because the agency failed to mention this ongoing problem which was unfair and unethical.
Can you please help?
Thank you. Lana
Hi Lana,
You may file an official complaint to the landlord requesting the remainder of your rent as the apartment is no longer suitable to live in. If the landlord refuses then you can file a complaint with RERA.
