Getting deposits back

Getting deposits back
Ok as I mentioned in another post we paid AED 5k deposit on our villa almost a year ago, now the Sheikh himself has apparently bought our villa, the real estate guy says he has no deposit to give back to us,
so I spoke to the woman who sorted it for us, a nice english woman, and she says I need to contact the old landlord as they've given the cash to him,
Now I'll call him later, but.....we gave the cash to her, she gave us a receipt with her name on her company receipt pad, surely she should be getting it back and giving it to us??

Re: Getting deposits back
I just mentioned to the agency that Im due to pop into RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) for an interview and then going to the police to lodge a complaint for fraud and theft...would you like to see me before i lodge this with the police.........had my cash within 30 minutes......job done.
try it...........it's fun
Honestly.....when you tell the agency, ask them...."should i lodge the theft complaint with the police against you, the landlord or the sheikh" .............they will shit themselves.
A few people have tried this afterwards and all have got there cash back.
From what i have been told..if a complaint is lodged with RERA against and agent....they cannot trade as a business until its resolved.

And in a time when they don't have a lot of business to trade it, the chances they will pay up are even greater.
Go for it. Is there a RERA in AD thou?

Re: Getting deposits back
Dunno, but when i met with the agent and explained to them that "i dont care who has my money, ill let CID sort it out...after all....it is theft...." things started moving VERY quickly
