Landlord not responding to requests for AC repair - what can I do?

Hi,

Good afternoon!

I rented an apartment and paid the agreed amount, not knowing that the air conditioning is not working.

I even requested a fan, but the landlord is giving me the silent treatment.

Can I file a case against him?

Yes, It's the duty of the landlord to maintain the apartment in a way for the peaceful enjoyment of the tenant.

And if he didn't do that, you may file a complaint to the DLD if the property is in Dubai.
