Hello,

Send a written notice via email or registered mail, explaining the issue and requesting maintenance. Keep a copy of this for your records.

If the landlord continues to refuse maintenance, you can file a complaint with the Sharjah Municipality's Rent Regulation Department. They handle disputes related to property maintenance and can mediate between you and the landlord.

Hi

Good afternoon!

If your landlord continues to ignore your requests, you can file a complaint with the Sharjah Rental Dispute Settlement Centre (RDC).

The RDC is a government body that helps resolve disputes between landlords and tenants.

For further assistance, kindly share your contact details.

If it’s minor maintenance, you can handle it yourself; otherwise, you can file a complaint with the RDC.

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for reaching out regarding the issues with your windows and the resulting dust nuisance. It’s essential that your living environment is comfortable and well-maintained.

In situations where a landlord refuses to carry out necessary maintenance, you typically have a few options:

- Document the Issues:

Keep records of the problems and any communications with your landlord regarding the maintenance request. Photographs can also be helpful.

- Formal Notice:

Consider sending a formal letter to your landlord outlining the issues and requesting repairs. This can often prompt a quicker response.

- Seek Mediation:

If the landlord still does not respond, you may wish to consider mediation through the relevant authorities in Sharjah.

- Legal Action:

If the matter remains unresolved, you may have grounds to take legal action to compel the landlord to fulfill their obligations under the tenancy agreement.

I would be happy to assist you further in addressing this issue effectively and ensuring your rights as a tenant are upheld.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly via WhatsApp or phone at [---------], or email me at [---------] to discuss your situation in detail.

Best regards,

Suhail Rana
