What are the laws regarding chilled water supply in residential buildings?




1
Q: Hello,
What are the laws regarding chilled water supply in residential buildings and its effect on air conditioning output?
I recently bought an apartment, and despite servicing all the AC units, we cannot get temperatures lower than 25°C in the living area and 23°C in the bedrooms.
An independent AC company evaluated this and reported that the chilled water supply to my unit is 20°C, while it should be 7-8°C. What rights do I have in this situation before approaching building management?
I am paying for chiller services but not receiving the expected performance.
Thank you!

Can I use someone else's account to issue a manager's cheque for a property purchase?




1
Q: Dear Experts,
I am currently in the process of buying a property in Dubai. To arrange payment, I need to pay the seller via a manager's cheque. I am not a UAE resident and am currently in Saudi Arabia.
Can I transfer the money to my friend's bank account in Abu Dhabi and use his account to produce the manager's cheque in the seller's name?
Can I then present that cheque while completing the transfer by physically attending myself?

I signed an MOU to purchase a property and paid the amount but the seller didn't provide NOC. What to do?




0
Q: I decided to purchase a penthouse in Abu Dhabi. I signed an MOU with the seller through a broker. The seller had a mortgage obligation with the bank. The mortgage amount was slightly higher than the transaction amount.
According to the terms of the MOU, I paid off the seller’s mortgage to the bank, covering the purchase amount, while the seller paid the remaining balance.
Sometime after my payment, the broker sent me a Mortgage Release document confirming that the penthouse no longer had any encumbrances.
Next, the seller was supposed to obtain the NOC, after which we would go to the municipality to transfer the title. However, the seller has not obtained the NOC!
According to the broker, the seller is disputing the amount assigned to him for payment by the management company and seemingly intends to sue the company.
It has already been three months since my payment!
The broker says that the seller is willing to sign a court document that would ensure my guarantees. Is this true?

The UAE has taken a bold step toward legislating the mortgage of movable assets after it was completely regulated by the Civil Code. The Federal Law No. 20 of 2016 Concerning the Mortgage of Moveable Assets, which came into effect 90 days after it was published in the Official Gazette on December 15, 2016, was a welcomed change by lenders after it gave them the ability to secure their debts with movable assets.

رفض منح تأشيرة دخول إلى الإمارات لدواعي أمنية 4
السلام عليكم أستاذ محمد.
لقد زرت دبي 3 مرات في 2014 و2016 و2017 بتأشيرة زيارة بدون أي مشاكل.
وعندما قدمت علي تأشيرة زيارة هذا العام، فوجئت بالرفض لأسباب أمنية مع العلم أنه في المرات الثلاث السابقة لم يكن عندي أي مخالفات. وعندما بحثت مع مسؤول العلاقات الحكومية في الشركة، أفادني أن عندي حظر لمدى الحياة.
أرجو الإفادة والحل مع العلم أنه لا يوجد لي أي سوابق أو مشاكل أمنية في مصر أو خارجها.

Recovering a small debt with a security cheque 1
Dear Sir,
I lent someone money of a small amount, only AED 4000.
Although I trust him and I know he was really in need, he issued blank-dated cheque signed by him and gave it to me as a security to repay me as promised by September last year.
It's been 6 months now, and I am calling this person to repay the money but he is not interested to pay me and not answering my calls and messages.
I know it is a small amount but for me who has a family back in my country, I really need the money for my obligations also. Please advise me what actions I must take to recover my money.
he told me before not to encash the cheque because he already closed the account, but then he is not returning my calls anymore.
How can I recover my money? Can I file a police complaint against him?

My Dubai tenant's rental agreement is ending by the end of September 2024 and the completion of 12 months of legally served Eviction Notice is the end of December 2024.
I have two questions:
(a) Can I send a rent increase notice 3 months before as the rent has increased as per the RERA rent calculator?

Thank you.

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?
