People residing in the major freeholder areas in Dubai, such as Business Bay,
Downtown, Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), Jumeirah Lakey Towers, International
City, Palm Jumeirah, Damac Hills, Dubai Marina, Mudon, Discovery Gardens,
Remraam, Arabian Ranches and many others will benefit from these initiatives that the
government and private developers have driven.

Under the law, landlords are required to provide maintenance for the property unless
the tenancy contract states otherwise.

In Sharjah, master developer Arada also announced major initiatives that would support
the people in Sharjah.

Arada has partnered with the Sharjah Social Services Department to provide housing
for up to 3,000 people affected by the flooding, who will be based in the Nest complex in

Aljada. Priority is being given to vulnerable members of society, especially children, the
elderly and people of determination. Transfers are taking place in stages, with the first
families moving in on Monday, April 22.

“As a key member of the private sector, we are committed to providing essential support
to as many people as we possibly can during these challenging times for the Sharjah

community. We have mobilised a number of our departments and will be
announcing further initiatives in the coming days,” said Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO
of Arada.

The UAE recorded the highest rains in 75 years on April 16, resulting in flooding
in many areas across Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman. As a result, many tenants were

left with no electricity and water.
