Consequences of floods

The UAE recorded the highest rainfall in 75 years on April 16, causing flooding in many areas of Dubai, Sharjah and theAjman. This left many tenants without electricity and water. According to industry representativesreal estate, owners in Dubai and Sharjah will incur maximum maintenance costs for their properties due to flooding after record rainfall last week. Owners are now busy restoring services and bringing their properties back to pre-flood levels.

Repair work

Trends show that tenants who are not too severely affected by the effects of a natural disaster are contracting with maintenance companies for repairs. Who will pay for the repairs will be a matter of negotiation between owner and tenant, unless there are special terms in the contract. Assisting the tenant with free months of rent depends on the owner's generosity, insurance coverage, and relationship with the tenant.
