5 متاح 5 • عرض الجميعمّن المسؤول عن الأعطال في شقة مستأجرة بسبب تسرب المياه؟

1
س: لقد استأجرت شقة منذ عام ونصف العام في إمارة دبي.
حدث مؤخرًا تسرب مياه من سقف المطبخ ودخلت المياه إلى الخزائن الخشبية وتسبب ذلك في تعفن ثلاث خزائن تمامًا من الداخل. لقد تلف كل الطعام لدينا.
ليس ذلك فحسب، بل اختلط الماء الناتج عن التسرب بالغراء في الخزانات الخشبية وأصبح لونه بني لزج. وانتشر ذلك حاليًا على كافة الطاولات والأرضية والأجهزة في المطبخ.
توجد برك من الماء البني على الأرض. المطبخ بأكمله أصبح غير صالح للاستخدام.
رفض عامل الصيانة الرئيسي أولاً زيارة الشقة لفحص الأضرار. لم يحضر إلا عندما أصررنا على ذلك، ثم أخبرنا أنه يتعين علينا الانتظار حتى يوم الخميس القادم لإجراء التصليحات.
في هذه الأثناء، لا يمكننا استخدام المطبخ، كل يوم تنتشر المياه أكثر فأكثر ويوجد الآن ذباب في كل مكان (والرائحة بشعة).
هل يحق لي من الناحية القانونية خصم الإيجار مقابل الأسابيع التي قضيناها بدون مطبخ؟ يجب عليّ دفع إيجار النصف الثاني من العام في شهر أغسطس.

Liability for the repair of water leakage from an upper apartment
1
Q: We were told that there was water leakage coming from our unit and the below unit has complained. There was no water leakage found in our unit during the inspection. The technician said his engineer will decide.
A week later, the FM engineer from Al Shirawi called my husband and threatened us to quickly proceed with rectification works and our unit is fully responsible for paying all the costs.
We have requested them in emails to justify that indicated in their 1-page report - hacking bedroom tiles, new bathroom floor and grouting work. They have not replied to justify why.
OA Menu has a RULE 6 clause 6.5 on a shared cost factor. Up till now, the OA Manager from SAGA Intl. kept on insisting that our unit is to pay all costs including any third party testings.
He also demanded me to furnish a copy of the POA to him as I am the one who replies to the emails. My husband is the owner and we are staying in the unit. Does the OA Manager have the right to ask for the POA and ignore the OA Menu on the shared cost clause?
Many thanks.

No A/C for a month, and maintenance hasn't fixed it. What to do?




2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I have had no A/C for over a month, and there is a constant leak in my kitchen ceiling that has stripped away plaster and paint. Maintenance has come multiple times, but nothing has been sorted out.
I have taken several hours off of work for this. The A/C was cut off because the landlord has not registered or paid with Empower directly.
Is there anything I can do?

What can I do if the villa I rented is not in a livable condition and the rental cheque bounced?




1
Q: Hi there.
I have taken a villa for rent in Mirdif, Dubai, and the owner handed over the property in an unlivable condition.
So I didn't want to stay in the property and wanted to end the contract.
For now, the last rent cheque bounced and I am concerned that the landlord might file a case.
I need legal help with the same.

How can I cancel my visa and POA for financial matters if I have a travel ban for company bounced cheque? 0
I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company.
During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge.
The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged.
No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case.
I need clarification on the following points:
How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company?
Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban?
Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options?
What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation?
I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.

What can I do if my tenant is not providing rent cheques nor responding to renew the tenancy contract? 0
Hi,
I am a landlord and need advice on the following scenario.
- The contract with my tenant expired in Sep 2024. Upon requesting the renewal, the tenant mentioned that she is out of the country and will sign the renewal contract and provide the rent checks. In the meantime, she paid the first quarter of rent through a bank transfer.
- After 3 months, when the next quarter's payment was due, she deposited the next quarter's rent into my bank but did not sign the contract renewal despite my follow-up with her multiple times. At this time, she had returned to Dubai.
- Now the next quarter payment is due, however, the tenant is not responding to WhatsApp or answering calls. She is NOT paying rent or renewing the contract.
What action can I take since she is not answering my calls or messages?
She does not have a valid contract or Ejari, and her rent is delayed by 1 month. All WhatsApp messages are delivered, but she chooses not to respond.
