How to cancel SEWA connection while there is a rental dispute case?

Hi,

I hope someone can give clarity to my situation.

My tenancy contract in Sharjah expired last Feb 2022 but we were unable to renew due to financial difficulties. We stayed in the same flat and in Aug, we received a notice from Sharjah Municipality regarding a case filed against me for non-payment of rent.

We went to the real estate office, paid a certain amount of what we had, and they assured us we can continue to stay in the flat so long as we pay the full amount by Dec.

After a month, Municipality came and evicted us from the flat. We submitted a request and we were granted by the judge 1 week to take our things and move out. My question is since I already have an existing rental dispute case but I don't have a current contract, how can I cancel our SEWA connection after moving out?

I understand that the case will continue to be active until I pay in full the amount stated in the dispute case, but will I be able to cancel my existing SEWA connection in this situation?

Please help!

Dear questioner,

First of all, as for the lease contract, it is automatically renewed in case of not sending prior notice to the MAC of the desire to cancel, second, cancel the water and electricity subscription. Please check with Sharjah Municipality to get cleared!

Check with your nearest customer service center and provide the original insurance receipt or replacement for it.

The Customer Service Center separates the services with the recording of the final readings of the meters.

Pay the final bill in cash or deduct it from the security deposit.

The customer can recover the insurance value after liquidating the final invoice.

A clearance certificate is issued in exchange for paying the prescribed fee.

You can submit an installment request to the court.
