Office Space Leasing Issue

By alanvabraham

Couple of month back i leased an office space in Doha and paid then deposit + utility charges and advance rent charges. When asked to provided necessary documents for getting the Muncipality papers done. They said they would get it done and we just pay them the service charges. I figured thats how usually things happen here so i agree. A month passed and still the papers were not ready. When enquired they said some issue they are facing. I later told them i would like to cancel the contract as they were inable to get me the papers and unwilling to share their building papers so i could get it done by myself. Upon visiting their office they said they would return the money but need time. i agreed for two weeks and not its been more than 2 months and i still havent received my money back. To put me in more fear they dont answer my calls and respond to any of my messages. While visiting their office these days only the staff are present and when we enquire about their manager they are not aware when they will be at office.

Im not sure what step i should take against this company.

I never understand why people don't go to the police.. The worst that can happen is that they will point you to another department

Name and shame them here for starters. Then perhaps complain to chamber of commerce
