Fahi Dhiriulhun Corporation (FDC) stated today that it has severed "portal access" and ordered two flats to be vacated for failing to regularly pay rent as specified in the agreement.

According to a statement issued by the corporation, a 15-day notice to vacate the flats was sent to the residents living in two units of the Amaan Towers constructed in Hulhumalé 2.

FDC stated that the owners of the two units were given opportunities on multiple occasions, in accordance with the agreement, to pay rent regularly. However, as money was not paid for the flats even after the designated period elapsed, the agreement was canceled, and the corporation stated that they have now been instructed to vacate the two flats and hand them over to FDC within 15 days of receiving the notice.

"And following the cancellation of the agreement, access given to those parties' FDC portal accounts has also been severed," the statement said.

FDC stated that it has completed the procedures outlined in the agreement for the 4,000 flats constructed by the corporation in Hulhumalé.

In this regard, it said that prior to canceling the agreement, those parties were repeatedly given opportunities to pay the unpaid money within 135 days. The statement from FDC added that notices were sent twice within that period to pay rent, and the 30-day notice required before terminating the agreement was also given.

"These notices were handed over through the Fahi portal, SMS, email, and in writing," FDC said.

According to the latest information provided by the corporation, there are 564 flats that do not regularly pay rent.

In a post made on X incorporating information on fines and warnings issued for the flats up to the 21st of last month, the corporation stated that there are 3,362 units that regularly pay rent. However, it stated that there are a total of 564 units that do not regularly pay rent.

FDC stated today that non-paying residents are ordered to vacate the flats in order to uphold the terms of the agreement and maintain equality and fairness for all.

"While giving adequate notice prior to taking action and facilitating opportunities to fulfill responsibilities, FDC will always prioritize maintaining transparent and fair principles in managing housing units," FDC's statement said.

"To sustainably manage the buildings and maintain the quality of services provided to the public, we urge all residents living in the towers to pay rent and maintenance fees regularly on a monthly basis in accordance with the agreement."
