I kept negotiating with them, but the 'rent amount' is increasing as the days go by. They are insisting that I pay the rent in full. They say they will issue the clearance letter only after I pay the rent. Now, the municipality will also fine me and my electricity bill is also increasing. Please advise.
Pursuant to your queries, it should be noted the tenant should hand over the rented premises in the same condition the landlord handed it to the tenant. However, if the flat is damaged due to reasonable wear and tear, then the tenant is not held responsible. With reference to the contents of your query, we understand the damages causes are not due to reasonable wear and tear. The landlord is asking you to pay for the charges to rectify the damages. You have rectified damages in the premises as well as paid Dh300. We assume that there is documentary evidence related to payments made to the landlord and further, we assume that you served reasonable notice to the landlord regarding vacating the premises as per the tenancy contract. Therefore, if you have fulfilled all your obligations as a tenant to the landlord and the same are mentioned in writing, then you may approach the 'Rent Committee' at the Sharjah Municipality and file a complaint against the landlord for settlement of this matter.
