Q: Hello, What are the laws regarding chilled water supply in residential buildings and its effect on air conditioning output? I recently bought an apartment, and despite servicing all the AC units, we cannot get temperatures lower than 25°C in the living area and 23°C in the bedrooms. An independent AC company evaluated this and reported that the chilled water supply to my unit is 20°C, while it should be 7-8°C. What rights do I have in this situation before approaching building management? I am paying for chiller services but not receiving the expected performance. Thank you!

Q: Dear Experts, I am currently in the process of buying a property in Dubai. To arrange payment, I need to pay the seller via a manager's cheque. I am not a UAE resident and am currently in Saudi Arabia. Can I transfer the money to my friend's bank account in Abu Dhabi and use his account to produce the manager's cheque in the seller's name? Can I then present that cheque while completing the transfer by physically attending myself?

Q: I decided to purchase a penthouse in Abu Dhabi. I signed an MOU with the seller through a broker. The seller had a mortgage obligation with the bank. The mortgage amount was slightly higher than the transaction amount. According to the terms of the MOU, I paid off the seller’s mortgage to the bank, covering the purchase amount, while the seller paid the remaining balance. Sometime after my payment, the broker sent me a Mortgage Release document confirming that the penthouse no longer had any encumbrances. Next, the seller was supposed to obtain the NOC, after which we would go to the municipality to transfer the title. However, the seller has not obtained the NOC! According to the broker, the seller is disputing the amount assigned to him for payment by the management company and seemingly intends to sue the company. It has already been three months since my payment! The broker says that the seller is willing to sign a court document that would ensure my guarantees. Is this true?
