The AED 27,000 deposit: the tenant’s account
A former tenant of Villa 217, Sidra 1, Dubai Hills Estate, says they lived at the property for two years and handed it back in good condition at the end of the tenancy.
According to the tenant, approximately two months have passed while they have pursued the return of their AED 27,000 security deposit from the landlord, Aftab Qaisar. They report that the deposit has not been returned and that their follow-up requests to the landlord have gone unanswered.
AED 4,000 in repair costs
The tenant also reports that the air-conditioning units were broken around the time of departure. They say they arranged repairs and paid AED 4,000 from their own funds.
According to the tenant, they were told that this expense would be reimbursed. They say they followed up for weeks but received neither reimbursement nor a response to those requests.
