hmm I can't find the deposit, I seem to recall giving AED 2k to the woman who we rented it off so her maids could go and pay to get the DEWA started, not sure if I ever got a recceipt though,

But....I rang up yesterday on the automated phone line thing and it said the bill was AED -16, so not sure if we had a final bill of about 2k and they just deducted it from the deposit?? Is this possible?

I would work on your average bill, mine for a 2 bed apartment is around 800dhs of which the majority of it is tax shown as 5% of my rent

Doubt it mate, I think you need to go to DEWA to collect the final bill and pay it. You then get a stamp on the bill saying paid and that's it for that account. Without that final bill stamped, you can still be liable for the account number. If you have the receipt, they will give you cash back for the deposit.

Hi guys,

We're hoping to move house this weekend and i wondered if someone could answer a few questions about DEWA please?

I have to tell them 3 days before we want our final bill and tell them our leaving date at the time? (we haven't got a moving date yet but hoping it's this weekend)

but i'm not really sure what to do next?

Also once i tell them our leaving date what time of that day will the water and electric be shut off? and our new place switched on?

Sorry i've got no clue (even though i have phoned them asking the process!)

Thanks in advance

Hmm, I think they give you the final bill and you pay it, then they cut you off.

If not tell them when you can and move out and get teh final bill paid a few days afterwards.

MrsHawkes

Yeah thats what Mr H was saying. Maybe we should get the new DEWA on first and then i can cancel it in this place at a later date. It'll give me time to get both places cleaned too.

Thanks again Spugsy!

no worries, I am the one and only.

As soon as you have paid your Dewa deposit and completed all the paperwork they should switch it on immediately. I went in at lunchtime with all the paperwork etc on the day I was moving into my place and by the time I moved in that afternoon, it was on.
