How do I dispute a wrong or excessive service charge in Dubai?
First, write to your management company or owners' association citing the RERA-approved budget and the specific line items you question. If unresolved, file a formal complaint with RERA via the Dubai REST app, Mollak, or the Real Estate Violation System, typically around AED 500. RERA reviews the accounts and can order refunds or penalties — keep paying meanwhile.
Rules and eligibility criteria change — confirm the current position with the relevant authority before acting. This is general information, not legal advice.
Figures here are indicative as of July 2026 and set by third parties (government, banks, developers) — confirm the current amount before relying on it.
