Cheating of Real Estate Agencies

Dear All,

Please suggest me your valuable comments regarding the problem I mentioned below.

I have booked a single bedroom flat near Thumamma from a Real Estate Agency. While making the contract itself, I have told them to change the Split ACs, Lightings and few comments.

They told they will change it in another 2 or 3 days and agreement starting date is from 1st Aug itself. Rent was paid on 5th itself thru' cheque. I booked the ticket to my family on 7th Aug believing them that the ACs will be replaced as they said. Even after many follow-ups the work is not completed and they are not responding properly. My family arrived on 7th and I stayed with my family in a hotel due to their incomplete work. AC in the hall is not replaced and arguing that the AC is in working condition only. Even they are not replying my calls, lightings not changed and no proper response from them. With utmost frustration, I told them that I want to terminate the contract immediately.

On 8th Aug, I handed over the key without even staying there for 5mins till date. First they realised their mistake and accepted for returning my rent for remaining 22days. But till now they didnt returned it back and now refusing to pay me back any amount. Suggest me that Can I complain this to DOHA POLICE regarding this matter and advise me if anyone faced similar situation before.

Please advice me the procedure how I can claim my money back from that peoples. Once I terminated their contract, next day itself I had taken another Single BHK from other Real estate and staying there. I have all proper Rental Agreement, Kahramma Deposit Bill, Qtel Bill and all.

Please advise me whether I am legally correct to claim the money back or any mistake from my side by terminating the contract suddenly.

of C-ring and Muntaza opposite the Holiday Villa complex. You have to go down Muntaza and make the first left hand turn (no light there) and then make as if you are going into the park. They can advise you of your rights and tell you the next steps to take.

Like I said, I work in the real estate industry and I handle corporate accounts as well.

Many a times I get calls about this and that company/agency did this and that...THAT'S WHY I WORK HARD to make sure our company won't get branded the same.

Azi...I am not sure if you are hinting at one particular nationality cos I can say that for three nationalities.

I wont be surprised either if you tell us which nationality you dealt with.

Not being racist, but for people like me who are in the real estate industry we know what's going on around us.

Now Verbal is not a contract , if you have it in writing that they will change the AC and lights , then you can go to court or the police , if not then , you cant do much !

If it is true (to which I have no doubt about) the fellows from top to bottom in the company be given the Saudi Justice...beheaded in full public glare without remorse. Most of them I heard do the same here. Ba**ards.
