Questions & Answers
Who is liable for the maintenance of a property, the landlord or the tenant?
Good day,
I would like to ask regarding the tenant rights.
Our air conditioning broke down and the landlord is insisting that we are the one who should buy a new compressor which is not on the leasing contract that I signed.
Are we really liable for the repair cost of that AC or the landlord?
Thanks for the help!

Dear client,
Thanks for your query!
I am happy to answer this.
You need to check your tenancy contract as it is mentioned in the contract itself as to who will take care of the maintenance issues.
Usually, up to 500 AED maintenance, tenants have to do by themselves, and for anything above 500 AED, the landlord has to do it.
Hope this will help you!
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
The landlord must do the required maintenance, but you have to check your contract.
