How can I get my landlord to fix the AC without hiring a lawyer?

Dear Lawyers,

I'm a housewife living in Sharjah, UAE. My landlord is not fixing our AC despite continuous reminders. I can't afford lawyer fees.

What should I do?

Dear Questioner,

You can do it yourself and then deduct the cost from the rent.

Dear Questioner,

- Send a Formal Notice:

Write a formal letter or email to your landlord, detailing the issue and requesting the AC repair. Keep a copy of this communication for your records.

- File a Complaint with the Municipality:

If your landlord does not respond to your requests, you can file a complaint with the Sharjah Municipality. They handle disputes between tenants and landlords and can take action to ensure that the landlord fulfills their responsibilities.

- Rental Dispute Center:

If the municipality doesn't resolve the issue, you can approach the Rental Dispute Settlement Committee in Sharjah. This is a more formal process, and they can issue orders requiring the landlord to make repairs.

You can call the municipality before going there to inquire about the fees.

They will provide you with accurate information based on your specific situation.

Send a warning to the landlord to repair the air conditioning and terminate the contract if it is not repaired.
