منزل جديد غير جاهز للسكن بعد إصدار الشيكات. ماذا يفعل المستأجر؟

The lessor is responsible for maintaining the property and repairing any defects or malfunctions that may impact the lessee's ability to benefit from the leased property.

This responsibility extends for the duration of the lease period unless otherwise agreed upon by the lessor and lessee.

The lessor, or any person authorized by the lessor, may not make any changes to the leased property or its annexes or facilities that would render it unsuitable for providing the agreed-upon benefit.

The lessor is responsible for any changes that violate this provision, as well as for any damages, malfunctions, or deficiencies caused to the property due to reasons beyond the tenant's control.

If he does not comply with the health conditions and postpone the receipt until the property is ready, a complaint can be filed to terminate the contract and claim compensation.

Should we remove our funds so the cheque bounces?

The landlord already submitted it to the bank. The cheques are dated for tomorrow.

Can you explain more why you want the cheque to bounce?

The landlord deposited the cheque already when the property is not ready for me (the tenant) to move in.

The move-in date needs to be pushed out. Since he already deposited the cheque dated for tomorrow, the funds will be cashed out.

The cheques shouldn't be bounced, otherwise, it will be another problem.

Kindly send the tenancy contract to my WhatsApp for review.

WhatsApp number (..................).

We have notified the realtor, but I don't have direct access to the landlord.

We notified the realtor that he is in breach of contract. We have video and photos of the property today, showcasing maintenance not being completed.

By law, it is a little bit complicated because bounced cheques are totally different matters.

I prefer to hold an online meeting to discuss this further.

Please text me on WhatsApp.

Thanks!

But we are removing funds to avoid the landlord obtaining our money for a property that has not fulfilled its move-in compliance. So why would this be an issue?

If we remove funds from our chequing account to avoid the cheque being cashed, will this be an issue?

The realtor has already requested to push the move-in date, however, the landlord already deposited 2 of the 3 cheques in his bank, which isn't right.

That means tomorrow the cheque will be cashed by the landlord and we haven't even moved into the property.

Yes, if they see it is done deliberately, it would amount to a criminal case.

That is why you are advised to go to RDC and tell them about the entire scenario and about the cheque encashment before your moving in.

What is RDC?
