Accommodation Problem: Where to Complain

Our flat in Al Sadd have these same problem for more or less 3 years already:

1. The water leak inside the wall in our bedroom damaging the paint on it. And who knows, molds are maybe growing in it. The paint flakes fell down our bed and floor.

2. The frequent trouble of our living room A/C that sometimes caused whole flat to black out because it tripped the main circuit breaker.

3. The bad maintenance service - Always telling that someone will come but none had come to repair. No one is replying on the complaint email they posted on the building.

No genius, report to Baladiya because the wall might collapse, read if you know how and then write your comments ! I had the same problem in a villa in Madinat Khalifa 2 years ago , there was a leak from the upstair bathroom which caused part of the ceiling to fall . Nobody ever came to repair it, and I left without notice or anything, I didnt pay any deposit on the room , then i heard that the wall on two illegal partitions collapsed because the leak was really big but nobody cared about it, then someone reported it to Baladiya see genius ??? Is not an AC matter , is a safety matter . But the question truly is, how come are you still there with this damage after 3 years ?

Change your accommodation immediately. Carrying out the repairs will cost you much and then once you have done that who knows the owners may serve you a notice to vacate.

You stop paying the Maintenance charges to the Rental agent and try to Maintain your house at your own cost.

1) The water leak inside the wall is due to a broken pipe . Damaging the paint is not an issue but the water might damage the concrete structure and the wall may collapse. Repair it on urgent basis.

2. Replace the A/C at your own cost. It is just 400/- Riyals for a second hand window ac / 900/- Riyals for a second hand Split A/c from Najma.

3. The bad maintenance service - Better look for another accommodation
