Hi all,
Good evening. I have a few questions related to signing of tenancy agreement.
1. We viewed a place we like but the house has yet to be repainted and cleaned. We also observed a potential leakage on the AC pipe where the rubber insulations are coming off.
The agent has told us the landlord will have all the maintenance repairs to be done.
Should we insist that all the repairs are done, before we sign on the tenancy agreement? Is it a reasonable practice in Dubai to only sign after all maintenance issues are fixed and painting done?
My concern is that after we sign and cheques are given, they will not want to fix anything.
2. My potential landlord has a company acting for them as POA, and I saw the authorization letter from the landlord to the representative of the company.
My agent who I contacted though, has no authorization letter from the landlord to him stating that he is the representing agent. I kind of expected that to happen since landlords would engage several agents sometimes to look for tenants.
TO be safe, as long as my cheque is written to the landlord, there should be no cases of potential fraud or the agent running away with the money?
Did I miss out anything?
3. Without signing a tenancy agreement, we wouldn't be able to activiate Ejari and DEWA, how would we know if the air con was working in the first place?
Really appreciate advice from the experienced forummers here, thank you!
