Following a warning from Fahi Dhiriulhun Corporation (FDC), the renters have been removed from an Amaan Udhares flat which was illegally rented out. After the flat was vacated, the family of the flat recipient has now moved in.
On February 11, Fahi Dhiriulhun Corporation (FDC) had ordered the owner of an Amaan Udhares flat to remove tenants from the flat within 10 days as it had been unlawfully leased out as labour quarters for expatriates. FDC warned that non-compliance would lead to seizure of the flat.
FDC Managing Director Hamdhan Shakeel said that the flat had been inspected at the end of the notice period. He said that the tenants have now been removed from the flat, with the recipient's family now residing there.
At the time, Hamdhan stressed that the flats were built through hefty loans to provide housing for those in need, and said using them as private real estate ventures is unjust to those truly in need.
Hamdhan asserted that FDC will monitor the flats, and take appropriate action against those renting out units.
Leasing these flats are prohibited under the agreements signed between the recipients and FDC. The agreement further states that doing so qualifies as a reason for seizure of the flat.
Soon after FDC began handing over flats to recipients, several units were advertised for rent at inflated prices. At the time, FDC cautioned that such flats would be reclaimed.
