I hired a contractor for works in my villa and failed in performing obligations. What can I do?
Hi,
I got an approved contractor in my villa for bathroom and kitchen work but he really failed to bring what he promised. The finishing is really really bad.
Parts of the ceiling are falling down every few days. The kitchen is in a very bad shape, they used silicon to attach tiles instead of glue.
Some doors fell off after a few times using, and some doors can’t even be opened because another door is blocking their way.
The toilets are a total mess, some tiles are broken, the door frame got destroyed with the work so they took some glue and painted above, the bathroom tub is not fixed and can be moved.
They closed one part of the walls with a tile without removing the window, they installed a fake wall in front but forgot to close the window, so the window is open from the outside but can’t be closed because of the new wall. These, are just a few, really few things.
In the contract we agreed that he would finish the work by the 19th of December, any delay causes an AED 1000 fine a day.
From the above explanation, there is a clear violation of what he promised.
We can file a compensation case against the contractor for breach of contract and delay in completion of the work.
But before that, we have to review the MOU in order to understand the terms and conditions between you and the contractor.
We will provide you with the service. Share your WhatsApp number if you want to proceed.
