A tenant wants to bring their own maintenance company to fix the AC. Is it allowed?

Dear Sir/Madam,

My tenant is not happy with the air conditioning performance.

I have sent a contractor twice and now arranging for a third trip although the engineer says it is fixed.

The tenant is now going to call his own maintenance company without my permission and claims he will pass me the bill.

Is this allowed?

Dear questioner,

In the UAE, according to Law, your tenant is not allowed to call their own maintenance company without your permission for repairs unless certain conditions are met.

You can ask for a clear valuation report of the repair carried out on the AC, if you feel anything suspicious, then you are not obligated to pay the same.

If you need further clarification, please share your WhatsApp number.
