س: طاب يومك،
أود أن أسأل فيما يتعلق بحقوق المستأجر.
لقد تعطل مكيف الهواء لدينا ويصر المالك على أننا نحن من يجب أن نشتري ضاغطًا جديدًا وهذا الأمر غير موجود في عقد الإيجار الذي وقعته.
هل نحن حقًا مسؤولون عن تكلفة إصلاح مكيف الهواء هذا أم المالك؟
شكرًا للمساعدة.

Fixing a persistent ceiling leak in an apartment with minimal hassle

2
Q: Dear Community,
I am seeking your support and guidance regarding an issue in my 2-bedroom apartment in Sharjah.
The hall of my apartment has been experiencing leakage from the center of the ceiling for the past 4 months. Despite my repeated complaints and requests to the real estate company, they have not repaired or solved the problem.
Can anybody advise me on how to resolve this issue with the least amount of hassle?
Thank you in advance!

هل يمكنني رفض دفع الإيجار إذا لم يوفر المالك الكهرباء؟



1
س: سيدي/سيدتي،
لقد استأجرت مستودعًا من مالك عقار بتاريخ 13 سبتمبر 2022، مقابل إيجار سنوي قدره 50000 درهم إماراتي. دفعت القسط الأول وقيمته 12000 درهم إماراتي. المستودع هو ورشة عملنا حيث نقوم بتصنيع طلبات العملاء.
كان لدى المالك مشكلة مع بلدية أبوظبي، لذلك لم يصدر لنا عقد إيجار حتى 15 فبراير 2023. بعد أن تلقينا عقد الإيجار، اكتشفنا أن المالك لديه أيضًا مشكلة مع شركة أبوظبي للتوزيع.
بسبب هذه المشاكل مع المالك، لم نتمكن من الحصول على توصيل الكهرباء لورشتنا حتى 9 مارس 2023.
يطالب المالك الآن بإيجار لهذه الفترة، لكننا رفضنا الدفع لأنه لم يكن خطأنا. كما تكبدنا الكثير من الخسائر خلال هذه الفترة لأننا لم نتمكن من تلبية طلبات العملاء بسبب نقص الكهرباء.
كان علينا أيضًا دفع رواتب لقوى العمل العاطلة لدينا. رفع المالك الآن دعوى تنفيذ ضدنا باستخدام شيكات التقسيط. ما هي الإجراءات القانونية التي يمكننا اتخاذها ضد المالك الآن؟

AC malfunctions and mold issues. Can I take legal action for building flaws?


1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
After purchasing the apartment from the previous landlord and residing there for several months, I encountered persistent issues with the inadequate functioning of the AC unit.
Not only did it fail to cool effectively, but I also discovered mold growth, particularly in the closets and within the AC ducts.
Subsequently, I realized that a neighboring resident faced identical problems, leading me to suspect that the building developers may have compromised on quality and cut costs during construction, likely opting for subpar materials.
This situation has escalated into a significant health concern, as the release of mold particles into the air is adversely affecting my well-being, accompanied by a noxious odor.
Despite employing the services of two different AC unit duct cleaners, the problem persists, highlighting the severity of the building's construction flaws and the urgency for a comprehensive resolution.
What can I do in this case, and can I take legal action?

Is there a timeframe for a property maintenance claim after vacating the apartment?



1
Q: Upon vacating your apartment, can you sue your landlord for ongoing maintenance issues while you lived there?
For 3 years I had ongoing maintenance issues which the building would not fix properly.
Furthermore, they have now tried to deduct from my security deposit despite not fixing several issues that occurred in the past 3 years!
Is there a timeframe for a maintenance claim?
I would like to sue them for years of lack of maintenance which destroyed my experience while living there.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Is it normal to pay maintenance fees upon each rental contract renewal?




1
Q: Hello,
Regarding the rental contract, I have a term that requires a 2000 AED maintenance fee upon renewal.
Is it normal to pay this fee upon each renewal, and can I negotiate to remove this term from the new contract?
It feels like an overcharge. Renting is in Dubai. Appreciate your help!
Thank you!

Is it the responsibility of the owner or building management to fix leaking damages in new apartment?




1
Q: I own an apartment in Dubai which I rent out. The apartment below has reported water damage, and now the building management company is holding me responsible, asking me to fix both the leak and the damage to the unit below.
I disagree with this for two main reasons:
1. The management company did not act quickly to stop the leak, and both my tenant and I were out of the country at the time. Had they intervened sooner, the damage could have been minimized.
2. I believe the leak may be due to construction defects or poor materials used by the developer. The building is less than three years old, and I bought the apartment directly from the developer.
I don't see how any of this is my or my tenant's fault.
I need legal advice on how to challenge this claim and understand my rights. Please let me know if you can help.

How can I claim damages from a tenant who left my commercial property in poor condition?




2
Q: Hello,
I need advice on claiming damages from a tenant who left my commercial premises in poor condition (e.g., damaged flooring, broken fixtures, broken partitions, and holes in the wall).
What steps should I take to document the damage?
How can I recover the costs, and do I need to file an RDC case?
Can I withhold the security deposit, as the damages exceed the deposit amount?

Is a bounced rent cheque case considered a criminal record for U.S. visa applications? 0
Hello,
My rent cheque was bounced, and my landlord filed a case against me in Sharjah Court. I received a fine of 2,000 AED, which was later reduced to 1,000 AED upon appeal.
Does this case count as a criminal conviction under UAE law, or was it handled as a civil matter?
If I apply for a U.S. visa, will I need to submit court records under the requirement for applicants with past convictions?

Mold in apartment due to construction fault: Can I get compensation? 0
Hi everyone,
I rent an apartment. After two days in the apartment, water started leaking from the ceiling.
It turned out to be a fault in the building's construction, which caused condensation in the false ceilings. When the panels were demolished, it was found that they were all full of mold.
The building manager has started work, but the apartment is no longer habitable.
Should the landlord compensate me for the lack of peaceful enjoyment of the property?

New owner in Dubai with no Ejari and previous tenant: What are his rights? 0
Dear Sir/Madam,
I recently purchased a studio flat in Dubai that was previously tenanted under a Tenancy Contract from November 2022 to November 2023.
However, there is no registered Ejari to establish a tenant-landlord relationship in the Dubai Government record.
The previous landlord had given the tenant a year's notice to vacate the flat, which was given six months ago. Now that I have purchased the flat, I have asked the tenant to replace the cheques, but she has refused to cooperate.
Can you please advise me on whether I am obligated to continue the Tenancy Agreement signed by the previous owner, given the absence of an Ejari?
Alternatively, when can I tell her to vacate the flat, or do I have to wait until November 2023?
Secondly, I would like to know if I need to serve the tenant with an eviction notice again to vacate the flat. If so, for how long is the remaining period valid, or do I need to issue a new eviction notice of one year?
I would appreciate your prompt response.
Many thanks!
Kind Regards,
