Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Regarding the above, we would like to inform you that, according to UAE law, the building management company is responsible for maintaining the safety and security of the building and its facilities, including the garage.

Therefore, they are liable for any damages that occur to your car while it is parked in the building garage.

In this situation, you should first document the damage by taking pictures and collecting any evidence, such as CCTV footage, that may help prove your case.

Then, you should send a written complaint to the building management company, detailing the incident and requesting compensation for the damages.

If the building management company does not respond or refuses to take responsibility, you can file a complaint with the relevant authorities, such as the Dubai Municipality or the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA).

They will investigate the matter and may impose penalties on the building management company for their negligence.

You may also consider seeking legal advice and filing a civil case against the building management company for compensation for the damages.

It is important to note that the statute of limitations for filing a civil case in the UAE is three years from the date of the incident.

In any case, it is advisable to act quickly and seek legal assistance to ensure that your rights are protected and you receive the appropriate compensation for the damages to your car.
