Is the building management obliged to provide air conditioning in common areas?

Hello,

I seek guidance regarding an issue I am facing with the air conditioning in the common areas of the building where I reside.

The facilities management of my building recently decided to turn off the air conditioning in all common areas, including the reception lobby and corridors on all floors.

Upon inquiring about this issue, I was informed by the management that they do not have any air conditioning set up in these areas.

This contradicts the fact that the air conditioning was functioning correctly in previous years but was discontinued this year.

Considering the implications of the high temperatures during the summer months in Dubai, I am concerned about the legality of not having air conditioning available in all common areas.

I would greatly appreciate your guidance on the following matter.

Go back to the contract between you and them.

Hello,

Thanks for replying.

The contract is between me and the landlord. The issue is with the facilities management company that manages the day-to-day maintenance in the building.

There is no mention of air conditioning in common areas in the contract between me and my landlord.

Agree with other tenants to file a group complaint.

If this does not work, you have the right to file a case against them, as air conditioning is a feature of the building, and this feature is indirectly included in the value of the rent.
