How can I refund my payment to a hotel apartment for bad service?
Greetings!
I rented a serviced hotel apartment in Abu Dhabi on a long-term lease (6 months) paying 6 months lease amount (AED 23000) in advance.
After occupying the apartment on 11/04/2022, I found lots of insects and bedbugs in the room. Notified the management. However, every time I was told it is fixed.
Later one night, the bedbug bite was intolerable and I was forced to vacate the serviced apartment in the middle of the night (on 28/04/2022).
While vacating, I was told by email that the advance amount deducting the period of stay will be refunded within 7 working days.
Now as of today (30/06/2022), I am not refunded. No one answers my calls and physical visits, I am told they are not available. The amount agreed for refund after deduction is AED 20,070.
Please suggest what I should do to get the refund for the failure to provide the service. I have the receipt of payment and email from the management regarding the refund.
Pictures of the bedbug bites are also available.
Thank you.

Good afternoon.
You could send them a legal notice to refund your money.

Dear questioner,
You might have to send a legal warning to the management that they have to make the refund payment within 5 days or you will take legal action for the amount + compensation + legal fees.
This ought to show if they are at all willing to refund you.
