HARASMENT AT RENTAL OFFICE AT EZDAN

Doha Qat
By Doha Qat

We are a Sri Lankan family living in this respected country for last 15 years. We are living in a Ezdan Property near Musheireb, rented by my company for more than 5 years, Once our kids grow they like to change our flat to the other side which we will have more sun light and sight seeing.
This morning we went to see the rental office to ask assistance and once we enter to the office one very rude man called by himself that he is the manager and shouted us very badly that he can't change the flat and abousing us "Sri Lankans kalli walli" and warned us to leave his so called office very immedietly.
Dear Ezdan management I would like to know and please advice that man how to respect to the humans,As we know there are no any differences between any nationalty. Also remind him that we are living in this respected country Qatar, further more please remind him that he is living in this country because of our rental fees only and how to treat customers well.HE GET USED TO KEEP HIS LEGS ON THE TABLE IN FRONT OF US LIKE A DICTATOR

Ezdan buildings near Musherib wooqood and total fresh has the worst maintenance team . This specific building with two and three bedrooms apartments near wooqood, near total fresh! The rents are higher than all other Ezdans in the musherieb area and the maintenance team has the worst attitude towards the occupants! They Provides you with Bad furnitures and if Asked for a replacement before you moved in, the maintenance head has the worst attitude to speak with! He says no to almost everything! Kitchen sink has no tap fixed kitchen sealing is dirty and the living room tea table is full of scratches and stickers. If we spoil any of the furnitures they take money from our caution deposit and dumps the damaged furnitures on to the next tenent, how convinient!!

Don’t even get me started with the way they show you apartments!! You get a good apartment only if you bribe them ! The rest will End up in one bedroom partitioned into a two bedroom and pay a higher rent of two bedroom! But seriously it’s just the case of this one set of Ezdan buildings!! The one bedroom Ezdan we lived before had good maintenance team, kind and helpful. I regret choosing this Ezdan already! Life here would be a lot more better For a lot of tenents if they could just change the maintenance team there.

There are similar people all around the world, so some time we have to just ignore them but if someone attacks other by mentioning the nationality so he must be given the proper answer and punishment for them same.

Not surprising, with this attitude there is so much trouble in these countries because they have huge issues . Lack of respect for others is one of them. Ignorant people. Sadly they don't even realize it.

west bay lagoon: lmao at your jealous comment on typhoon

typhoon: please don't generalize and disrespect other communities. that whole lankan mafia thing you mention exists in your head. from my mechanic who drove to umm saeed at 3am to help me with my car, to my landlord, colleagues and friends; i have found them to be among the most friendly and inclusive people ever. You could say that too exists in my head. See my point?. It's just how you see things. I hear people say the exact same thing about Filipinos; that they are very cliquey, that they rent all the properties and re-rent it only to their kabayans. Would you like me to believe all that and hate you? I have the most amazing Filipino friends and I would never hate the whole country because of what I heard about some. Suggest you do the same because that's the only way to live.

I am in absolutely in disagreement with the conclusion that it is because they look down upon south asians. In reality, they think south east asians are soft targets to extract money or to cheat & hence is the terrorizing behavior. I wish few of South East Asian come foreward & teach them a good lesson , so that this generalized cheating mentality in arabs is cured.

This is not right. It's not about Nationality, color of your skin or what race and where you from. This man should know the words "RESPECT" and "HUMANITY". This is the only thing I can say to you Ma'am/Sir: That guy should learn a lesson. You should take his name and file a complaint to the management or else sue him in the police (though I don't know if it works here). You must not show them any fear especially if you know you are right. Most of the people here taken good people for granted and think that they can abuse them that easy. But if they know that you are strong and you know your right they will not do it to you. Knowing that you're living here for 15 years. You should know the rules and how it works. No one should disrespect others even if you're the King. You should fight for your right~!

This type of think is very common in Ezdan village offices. .I am surprised to read the reply from Ezdan management. Instead of taking action immediately , they just say that they have "reminded him". What to remind, he should have been punished immediately. Its clearly shows the mentality of the Ezdan Management & It will encourage the person do such things more.

In Ezdan 2 also there is a rude man. almost every one hate him. He will some how or other create a fault to deduct the money from the tenant's deposits at the end of the contract. He don't talk to tenants properly at all. I don't want to mention his nationality as the people who belong to the same nationality will get hurt.

My question is doesn't Ezdan Management educate them when they are recruited. Since majority of the people (Tenants) are non Arabic speaking, why they employee a person who can't speak English. Whatever the answer might be, My personal opinion is simply that they don't care the Tenants. In their language "KALLI WALLI".

Well,frankley speaking I don,t have any special reason to post against this man but I did because of his very very rude behaviour and harasement against us in front of our two kids any how we can notice that once we go through the comments he has become a specific person in this city.

Further more this is the real story which happened to me last morning and there is'nt any brushing and polishing.

Do you know the Lankans say the same thing about other nationalities? Just goes to show the ridiculousness of generalizations and discrimination. What one assumes about others, others will assume about them.

Personally, being of mixed race and nationality, I find it all very senseless and wrong to blame an entire nation for the wrongdoings of some. The fact is, as I said before, each country has their share of good and evil beings.

Every Ezdan has different management. I live in a Ezdan new compound. I never have problems. I get my maintenance requests done same day, with no problems. Yes, they hire Egyptians, and Indians, etc that speak little to know English, but they work hard, and do good job.

Hopefully, you can report this guy, and get compensation. No one deserves to be treated this way.

Perhaps the guy or somebody close to him or known to him must have been hurt by some from this community and honestly you cannot blame him as some of this Lankans have a very crab like mentality and attitude and have turned some of this organizations and logistics companies they work at into Lankan mafia groupings by trying to push out others with their dirty tricks and then filling it with their own people

and discriminating. Considering the fact this thread was opened against the obvious racism and uncivilized behavior of a certain individual, it's sad them to see some of those who condemn these despicable acts, also doing the same against other races.

Every nation, race and religion will have their share of good and bad, noble and ignoble, evil and righteous etc.

Clearly the Ezdan Mgr mentioned in the OP was not taught at a young age to shun racism and hate to discriminate another, hence Doha Qat had to undergo such a horrid experience.

Learn a lesson from this...and stop all forms of unfair generalizations, regardless of how many bad apples you find among a particular group/race/nationality!

The sad thing is that every person seems to be a manager out here and nobody wants to be disturbed and neither wants to provide a service for the money they are being paid for. Thats one reason why there is not much respect for managers out here as every dick, peiris, Fonseka and ravindoo seem to be managers out here with no clue about what is their job responsibilities

Hi...Sorry to here about this.....is this guy tall and bit fat, short hair and a big beard....if so he is so called the manager. I stayed in ezdan Musheireb in 2011.He is a guy who is frustrated I guess or must be having family problems. he never look at customer's face and talk. we had a fire there in 2011 and the whole building didnt have electricity for two F***ing weeks. This idiot didnt do anything. They took three weeks to return my cash deposit at the end of my contract. After visiting the H/O four times,That also they deducted QR400/- saying that I have not returned all the keys...when I asked they said I have to return 3 keys for each door....when I took the place they only gave me two and some bedrooms didnt have keys even...(you can buy the whole lock set for QR 35/- in the market)which they refused when i said i will replace. :) I am also a sri lankan and will never advise anybody to deal with ezdan as long as they have this kind of staff

The above incident is really embarrassing,myself i am staying in Ezdan in Wakra. Before while searching apartments have visited most of the ezdan compounds in Wakra .

Most of the Ezdan office guys are from Egypt,Believe me none of them are professional and hardly speak English.

If its company accomodation try to follow up things from your office .You can report the issue to Ezdan main head office one in West Bay,they are far better than the one's sitting in each compound/apartment office.

What a prized arrogant jerk that man is...hope you got his name. Please complain to the Ezdan Management asap. I know quite a few families, even Lankans, living at various flats under the Ezdan Management, and have had no problems. In fact many of their employers have been very decent and helpful. This man is obviously an exception and should get his comeuppance.

i am not being funny but that's the problem with some people working in this country, they look at the color of the skin...expecially some (not all) arabs who have some prejudice against south asians, they prefer whites and east asians and also prefer Philippinos and other arabs but are cold towards indians and other south asians like srilankans and pakistanis...so sad indeed

Did he say "Sri lankan's kalli walli?" For those who don't know the language Kalli Walli means "Of no use"

You must sue that man for all our sakes. Find Ezdan authorities and file a complaint immediately, is my response. Moreover, write to different media organizations... Take the name of the man out, if you know and ask for a recompense for the abuse.

If nothing avails, QL is with you to bring the name of these people down.

You have lived here for the last 15 years and it deeply saddens me that you have been treated like this.
