Default The Greens - Access card and landlord fees help

Hey all.
I am renting an apartment in the Greens near Choithrams end. Recently I have tried to acquire a second keycard so that the maid can access the apartment during the day.

When visiting Emaar offices, I was told that because the landlord has not paid his service fees I cannot get one.

After speaking to the landlord, he informed me that yes, he was in a dispute, so there was little he could do. Fair enough.

NOW, it seems the one remaining card I have is also no longer working. This would appear again that it has been deactivated because of service fee issues.

What can I do? The landlord still hasn't paid and is unable to do so and I can't access my building without someone else entering/leaving.

Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks.

You could ask Emaar how much the service charges are and arrange to pay them direct to Emaar and inform your LL that you will be deducting them from your rent.
Negotiate with Emaar to pay from now, I am sure they will be happy with some money rather than NO money. Although with Emaar you never can tell.
Good luck.

this is happening more and more and it's a real nightmare...
for people that are about to rent an apartment, ask your real estate agent to get proof from the landlord to show he's paid the service charges...
