3
Q: The owner is asking for chiller charges for the last 2 years, for an apartment that we have vacated 2 months ago.
The bills are in the owner's name, who has been settling them and is now requesting reimbursement contract mentioned a company for the chiller by the name '[----], which does not exist.
We did ask the building and agent for a chiller and were told that those are covered within the building. In the 2nd year, the term chiller was removed by the owner from the contract.
The invoices shared to claim the chiller charges are from a building management company that is issuing building management charges to the owner based on the area of the apartment and it has nothing to do with the consumption.
At end of the lease, the owner asked for settled copies of all other utility bills which were shared and there was no mention of chiller charges even then.
Accordingly, the owner paid back the security deposit. The owner has sent a legal notice to reimburse these paid invoices, along with the charges he incurred on the legal notice and lawyer.

هل المستأجر مسؤول عن ارتفاع فواتير الكهرباء بسبب خلل في وحدة التبريد؟
1
س: السادة الأعزاء،
أواجه مشكلة خطيرة فيما يتعلق بوحدة التبريد في شقتي. أقيم في عجمان في شقة مكونة من غرفتي نوم في برج تملكه شركة عقارية ومالك الشقة وافد.
فاتورة التبريد الخاصة بي من الشركة العقارية ترتفع بشكل غير طبيعي، حتى عندما لم نستخدمها خلال فصل الشتاء، تستمر رسوم التبريد في الارتفاع.
لذلك عندما تواصلت مع الشركة العقارية أرسلوا فنيًا وفحصوا وأخبروني أن المشكلة في الوحدات المثبتة داخل الشقة وليس خارجها وليست مسؤوليتهم.
ثم اتصلت بمالك الشقة الذي أرسل الفنيين ووجد بعض المكونات المعيبة وقام باستبدالها.
لقد تكبدت الآن فاتورة تبريد إجمالية تزيد عن 8000 درهم إماراتي من الشركة العقارية، وكان ذلك بسبب وجود خلل في مكونات أجزاء مكيف الهواء المثبتة داخل الشقة.
فهل أنا مسؤول عن دفع هذا المبلغ؟
رفض كل من الشركة العقارية وصاحب الشقة تحمل المسؤولية.
يرجى إرشادي بشأن الخيارات المتاحة لي.

Who should pay district cooling charges: landlord or tenant?
10
Q: My landlord has requested the A/C company to bill the district charges to me. I have lived in the apartment for the past 2 years. Last week I received a bill with backdated charges since October 2016.
My contract states I am responsible for water and electricity and does not mention A/C. I have paid for the usage of all the utility bills since moving in there.
Who is responsible for the district cooling charges, and if it is the landlord, how can I stop the A/C company from billing me?

ماذا أفعل إذا لم يقر المطور بتسوية رسوم الخدمة من قبل المحكمة؟


2
س: اشتريت وحدة عقارية من خلال المحكمة ولدي خطاب محكمة يسوي رسوم الخدمة للمالك السابق.
لقد أقر المطور بذلك ولكنه لم يعدله حتى الآن بسبب بيروقراطيته (4 أشهر حتى الآن).
على الرغم من إقرارهم بأن رسوم الخدمة كانت خاطئة، فقد أرسلوا لي إشعارًا قانونيًا من خلال "مُلاك" (Molak) بأن عليّ الدفع في غضون 30 يومًا وإلا سيبيعون الوحدة بالمزاد.
الآن، لست متأكدًا مما يجب أن أفعله، هل أصدق المطور وأنتظر منهم إصلاح رسوم الخدمة، أو دفع رسوم الخدمة الخاطئة لتجنب الإجراءات القانونية مثل بيع الوحدة بالمزاد، أو تقديم شكوى إلى المحكمة أو مؤسسة التنظيم العقاري (RERA).

Unpaid service charges in shared ownership: Who bears responsibility?



2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a 50% owner of a leasehold property. The lease agreement does not specify joint or several liability. It only mentions "xxxx and yyyy" as the lessees.
We have not paid service charges for the last 3 years. The other co-owner left the house 3 years ago and ceased all communications with me. The co-owner is uncontactable.
The management company initiated an RDC execution case against me and my co-owner.
Am I liable only for 50% of the total due amount? Or am I liable for 100% of the due amount? Can you please inform the correct article of law that covers this issue?

The public prosecution appealed a judgment to increase the fine I already paid. What do I do now? 0
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your time.
The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine.
Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant?
Will I be asked questions?
Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response?
Thank you again for your time.

Do I have to pay a penalty if terminated after completing my contract period? 0
Sir,
As per my contract period, they mentioned that if I leave the company before 1 year, I have to pay 5000 dirhams. But I have already completed more than 1 year and 3 months.
The company has given me a warning letter saying my work performance is low, and if I continue like this, they will terminate me. They didn't mention any charges, but they mentioned in the letter a top penalty procedure.
So I need to know whether I have to pay them any charges or not.

عرض الجميعWhat can I do if I cleared the travel ban at the police station but it still cannot get a clearance certificate? 0
I had a case at Al Barsha Police Station, Dubai, for one year.
On 22 April, the court announced a verdict and imposed a fine of AED 5000, which I paid on the very next day and got the certificate from DPP, which I took to the Al Barsha Police station and submitted there.
The police officer told me that they have removed the travel ban, and the records will be updated in other emirates within 24 hours.
It's been more than 48 hours now since I applied for a clearance certificate on the MOI app, and it has turned into status "review with the concerned party."
I don't have any other cases, only this case, for which I paid the penalty already.
Seeking expert advice, please.

My employment visa was rejected without any reason stated. I contacted MOHRE, and they said it was rejected by ICP Abu Dhabi. I have never been to the UAE or any other country.
This is my first visa application. I am from Pakistan, and I heard there is a shadow ban on some cities in Pakistan.
I contacted ICP, but they said there is no ban on any nationality.

Can the collection agencies pursue a legal action against me in my country for unpaid debts in the UAE? 0
Dear Sir
One of my friends took a loan and credit cards from various banks and ran away to Pakistan as he lost his job.
Can anyone chase him in Pakistan?
Actually, he was a victim of fraud, and the person who did this is in jail, and the other ran to Pakistan.
My friend made civil cases and won both. One is in jail for the first case, and the other ran to Pakistan. That's why he defaulted on payment.
